Was driving with load and it just up and died wouldn't start back till it cooled, replaced fuel pump with inline aftermarket cause one in tank wouldnt work(after i replaced with inline the had recall on the sending unit) then was driving it again and it got hot and quit.(timing belt, fuel pump relay, maf, and fuel pump where checked not problem) hooked it up to computer and it was saying the camshaft postion sensor was malfunction. I called around to find part, part is not available anywhere. u have to replace the distribitor. DO NOT BUY DEALER ITEM, get one from Autozone with lifetime warrenty cause i replaced mine and over the corse of 98,000-130,000 miles i had to replace it 5 times and it didn't cost me like it would have from dealership..

the distributor seize on my 2000 nissan xterra causing damaged to the crankshaft. I had to replace the distributor, camshaft and at the same time I replaced the timing belt and other minor components. The cost of the repair was a bit over $2,400.00. All because of a bad distributor design by Nissan motors

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.

Problem diagnosed to be failulre of the electric in-tank fuel pump. Quite likely the fuel pump was fine but rather the electrical connector contacts got corroded. This was the subject of a recall. Repair shop replaced both the fuel sending unit and the fuel pump at a total cost of $700 in parts and labour and taxes!!!!!
