Hey guys, my Dad just gavde me a '93 Nissan Sentra due to the fact that he got a new car because he was tired of dealing with the Sentra. After driving for 20 mins the car shuts off but is able to restart immedianfortely. This will continue 1-2 more times. The fuel pump, starter, and alternator were replaced by Nissan at different occasions for different concerns. Also the automatic seat belt retractors are inop. Is this a common concern for these models. My first Nissan. Any information will be greatly appreciately.

you will want to buy a repair manual and check the engine codes.

I guess it's obd 1... there's no visual check engine light on. Have you ever seen this?

 

[greenbean699]

yes, you will have to take the cover off over the ecu thats under the center part of the dash. you have to turn the dial clockwise with the key in the "on" position. then wait for the check engine light to blink and record the times it blinks to see what sensors are bad or not getting a good connection.
