Vehicle engine stalled without warning.*mr engine was replaced and stalled again from city speed to highway speed. The check engine light illuminated. The oxygen sensor was replaced and the light continued to illuminate. After 2.5 hours of electrical testing, nothing was found. The existing stalling is repaired by shutting the A/C off to provide the engine with power. The prevention is to use higher octane gas, omit overdrive and avoid using the A/C. Nissan asked that the consumers wait for the vehicle to break so they could find the cause. The engine itself broke at 59k miles. There was a recall on the crankshaft and camshaft system. But the 1994 models the sensor is in the distributor.

I would like to add my complaint to the long list you already have about the broken bolts on the front and rear manifolds. I had three broken studs that needed re-drilling and one bolt that only needed replacement. The manifolds were warped and had to be removed and planed. Total cost was $756.16. The problem I was having was a loud rattle noise. When I asked the mechanic about not fixing the problem I was told it was a potential fire hazard. There appears to be a defect in this engine model. I understand it is also prevalent in the pathfinder and other nissan models. When I called my nissan dealership they said there was no recall on this problem. Nissan said they has issued a technical bulletin on this issue and for customer service relations they were fixing 1994 pathfinders with this problem if they had 100,000 miles or less.
