I have a 2006 CC 4x4 with 140,000 miles, recently I was driving on the fwy and all of a sudden the engine dies. Luck that it was not busy and I was able to coast to the side. It has also died on me while i was just parked and idling and coming off a complete stop. The weird thing is that there was no error code or engine light on. I have Been searching and found the ECM replay problem and the IPDM problem. I have a appointment tomorrow to have the replay replaced, but should I also expect to have to replace the IPDM? Could there be another thing causing this the problem? I have just replace the crack shaft sensor, but could a bad camshaft sensor also cause this problem without having the engine turn on.

I have a 2007 frontier. I have replaced both sensors, the relay and even the fuel pump but am still having the same issue. Stalls for no known reason and ends up throwing the codes. Please advise as to what I should try next.

Was both cam sensors replaced or just one?

Yes I have replaced the crank sensor as well. This seems to happen only during warmer periods and mostly at times when I am stopping or slowing down to a crawl. I am now wondering if it is the ipdm module rather then the relay that Nissan has suspected. Can’t get any answers from Nissan except to ask if I am still interested in buying a new vehicle.
