My mistake. You added to a transmission replacement question, so I assumed that is what you wanted to do. I did find your new question. I'm not going to post an answer for that one because we have others here who are much more qualified for Nissans and will do a better job for you. If I post a reply, that question will go off the list, then the others won't get to see it or have a chance to reply.
In the meantime, I'm looking for a video that will help with your spark plugs. If I find something, I'll post the link here, then you'll get another e-mail directing you back here.
Be aware all the spark plugs aren't going to fail at the same time, so don't expect that to solve the stalling problem. The most common causes are the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. Those commonly fail by becoming heat-sensitive, then they work again after cooling down for about an hour. This is pretty common on all car brands and models. What is different between models and years is that some engines will stall and not restart when either sensor fails. Some will continue running when one sensor fails, but then they won't restart after being turned off. Still others, mostly newer models, will run with one failed sensor of the two, but may not run well.
You're likely to be asked to have the diagnostic fault codes read as the preliminary step. The people at many auto parts stores will do that for you for free. Remember they're in the business of selling parts. No fault code ever says to replace a part or that one is defective. They only indicate the circuit or system that needs further diagnosis, or the unacceptable operating condition. When a sensor or other part is referenced in a fault code, it is actually the cause of that code about half of the time. First we have to rule out wiring and connector terminal problems, and mechanical problems associated with that part.
Once you know the exact fault code number(s), you can go here:

to see the definitions, or I can interpret them for you.
By the way; you did a dandy job with your new question. Most people just list it as a "no-start", but that can mean a number of different things. "Cranks", but won't start is the perfect description. Also, thank you for listing the engine size and mileage. We need that for finding the right diagrams, and the mileage is used to select the best suspects for a problem.
