91 Pathfinder dies while driving
 

It happened this morning while driving to work... I was exiting from an interstate 35 on a side street and suddenly the car would not go from the stop light. I can not understand what's wrong for about a second, then looking at the tach I find out the engine is not working [8D] I start it up and continue going. At the next stop light the same happens... I'm rolling at the middle of the road, then hear a scratchy metal noise, so I stopped. Turned on emergemsy flashers and got out of the car to see what's wrong. Five meters behind me I see a melat layer from a muffler - and it's mine... Strange I thought,... I picked it up, and got inside of the truck again. Started it up and went forward... But it just dies on me as soon as I let go the gas pedal. Like there is no idle at all... When it's rolling in gear - fine, when the car is not in motion or in neutral engine RPM's goes straight to zero and shuts off. I barely made it to work :eek:

The way back the car was just fine as always. What could that be? I'm going to try pulling any fault codes from the ECU but I have a feeling that there is none. I tried disconnecting the battery to see if car runs on alternator - and it does. Battery itself is 2002 but is seems just fine.

Could it be one of the engine control sensors? Perhaps someone had the same problem?

I know it's friday the 13th today =))) But hope there is another explanation for my problem?

thanks.

checked fault codes - none. Started the car yesterday - fine. Today - the same problem, idle gets very very low but it was not dying this time, just misfiring and extremely low idle. I did diag again while it was doing that and ECU says everything is fine! [:@]

So, no one reads this forum at all? [X(]
