i can be driving along and my suv will just quit running and will not start back until it sets for a while.

driving down highway and just stalled, wont start now...turns over and all lights work etc....checked fuel pump, everything works...

engine would get to 2500 rpm start shutting and bucking you could give it gas and it would act like it was getting none, changed the fuel filter the maf sensor the coolant temperture sensor the throttle positioning sensor, checked pluggs and wires, nothing still doing the same thing ends up it was the distributor

engine started in morning running fine -came out of work - would not start - engine turns over but no start

seal failed on distributor, it seized up and got shoved out of the motor, broke two teeth off the cam

this is exactly what happened to me too. i took off the cap and rotor, then the first little plastic cover. you could see pieces parts of bearing down in the bottom of the dist. it was easy to take the distributor out and replace the bad bearing, took about an hour start to finish, just remember which way the rotor was pointed. the local fastenal store had the bearing even where i live out here in the boon docks. bearing cost me $1.14 plus tax. drop in fit. i think it is 23x18x8mm, but a google search will get you the napa number. nissan wanted to change the whole distributor. ha ha ha.
