Question

Engine powers off while driving. I can turn ignition back on while coasting with no power. If I brake while coasting, I have to stop, put it in park and turn the ignition back on. Check engine light is off.  I do have a P0325. I changed the knock sensor. Codes do not clear.  SUV still powers off. Sometimes it's just once in an outing to up to 3 times in an outing. Infiniti/Nissan was not able to diagnose the problem. They changed a hose and said that they would have to continue to change parts until the issue stops re-accruing. This was after having my car for 3 days!

Hi there

It's possible the problem is with the distributor. Sometimes they fail on these and stop producing spark. The ignition coil and cam sensor are part of the distributor assembly and when they get hot they fail, then when they cool down begin to work again.
