2003 Nissan Altima will start but won't stay running longer than 30 seconds, what's wrong?

Question

I have a 2003 Nissan Altima. It starts and runs fine for about 50 seconds @ idle, then shuts off. If actually driving the car, it only runs for about 4 or 5 seconds then it shuts off. Car will start right back up every single time, and the pattern is repeated.

HI there

This code is for the variable intake timing control solenoid. It uses oil pressure to work so start by checking the oil. If the oil level is good, then it's possible the cam position sensor is not working properly, if it can't see the timing advance then it could cause this code. It's also possible the mechanical timing is off on the engine.
