The Crank Angle Sensor on these cars is notorious for going bad They will start to drop the output signal intermittently when they get hot The computer will try to substitute a value for the missed signal and keep the car running Eventually the sensor will reach a temperature that causes it to fail producing any signal And the ignition system will fail causing loss of spark making the car die After the car dies the sensor starts to cool and in most cases the car will start back up Immediately. The distributors also go bad after time in these cars (about 100K) and are not serviceable If the symptom cannot be reproduced try replacing the crank sensor first as it is the cheapest part Always check basic tune up parts first and make sure they are in good condition

MY 1993 olds ciera stalls while driving?
I have had 2 of the 93 model and there is a sensor chip on the transmission that went bad in both cars that made my car die for no reason at every stoplight or just going down the road after about 15 minutes of driving. Dont take it to a transmission place they will try to sell you a whold new transmission. Just take it to the mechanic and it is a pretty cheapp easy fix. Only cost me about $120 for each car.

Where is the electronic module located on a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder?
I have owned several Nissan trucks since 1989 and the ECM has always been under the passenger's seat. This keeps the unit out of the extreme heat/cold and dampness under normal driving conditions. I just reprogramend my keyless entry on my 1995 pathfinder, the module was located under the driveride seat
