My 1998 Nissan Maxima SE died after driving it for about 20-30 miles when stop in traffic. I did a dagnostic and they told me that everything if fine but the car still stall after driving it for about 20-30 miles. Is it the temperature sensor or is it the compputer? Please help.

Hi Pbrevet5, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation.

When it stalls out do below immediately don't wait for nothing do it right then and there to catch it if its a fuel or spark problem something has to give.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
