1999 Nissan Quest chugs and dies when hot
Up until last week, my Quest did great. It started hesitating, chugging and losing acceleration. After that, it dies. It doesn't start, again, until it cools down.
My husband replaced the fuel pump and thought that was the problem. It did it, again, today. It didn't take as long to start this time, however. Before, it was taking about an hour or longer. It started up in 15 minutes while ago.
Any thoughts?

My problem turned out to be the upper ball bearing in the dist. The shaft didn't seem to have any slop but you could see bearing chunks floating around inside. It seemed like a simple fix so I went for it. The bearing was about $5.00 from McGuire Bearing. The install was a piece of cake. I cleared the codes, fired it up, set the timing and now it runs like a champ.

I had the same problem, changed everything. I just sent back a knock sensor, thats a $ 700.00 job. A NISSAN TECH. in another forum, said to change the DISTRIBUTOR. REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE. THIS CHANGED MY LIFE. MY QUEST RUNS NEW. Bought the dist. on e-bay for $ 148.00 & free shipping. There is a photo cell in the dist. that either gets dirty or goes bad.Thats why he wants new. I had glowing cats. and everything else. My 2000 sat for six months, while I replaced everything. It use to run good for about a mile. Now its great. GOOD LUCK ROGER S

I have the same problem with my 2000. Unfortunatly I have not found the answer; but I can tell you what I have done that has not fixed the problem. If you find a solution; please let me know - Thanks.
Replaced all plugs, wires, distributor cap, catalytic converter. Still happens. Considering ordering a used ECU unit just for the heck of it. That unit controls gas and firing among other things.

SAME PROBLEM
Had the same problem with my '99, only it hadn't got to the stalling part yet. Just very poor idling and missing even at speed. Changed spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter, timing belt, whole distributor. Still ran like crap. Finally tracked it down to a Mass Air Sensor filter that was so plugged it let very little of any thing through. No more cheap filters for me. Purrs like a kitten now.
