    this started happening to my 1999 nissan. It turned out to be the timing chain. Its causing the engine to jump time.

    In my 2005 Altima, when this happened I had to replace the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensor. The camshaft sensor was what was causing my problem. Once replace have not had a problem with that for about a year now. The crankshaft sensor is easy to get to, the camshaft is a little harder but with patience you can do it. I was told it would cost $450.00 parts and labor and I pay $35.00 each sensor and put them on myself. I am not a mechanic just determine not to pay that much.
