Your 96 pathfinder just stalls driving down the road?

The Crank Angle Sensor on these cars is notorious for going bad They will start to drop the output signal intermittently when they get hot The computer will try to substitute a value for the missed signal and keep the car running Eventually the sensor will reach a temperature that causes it to fail producing any signal And the ignition system will fail causing loss of spark making the car die After the car dies the sensor starts to cool and in most cases the car will start back up Immediately. The distributors also go bad after time in these cars (about 100K) and are not serviceable If the symptom cannot be reproduced try replacing the crank sensor first as it is the cheapest part Always check basic tune up parts first and make sure they are in good condition
