2004 nissan titan 4x4

last night, pulling into drive way the truck shut off. tried to restart it turned over and tried to start but sputtered. kept trying, let it sit for 15 minutes ,it finally started. thinking it was bad gas i drove to work. It did it again this time not restarting. Towed to dealer, dealer can't figure it out because no code is showing up. dealer says the fuel pump "seems to working" whatever that means. gas looks ok. any help would be great, got a camping trip planned on sunday so need it fixed or I'm renting a ford to tow my trailer.

reagan12 · 11-14-2007, 01:03 PM

Mine did the same thing. It turned out to be the fuel pump. I also had no light.
The dealer stated that earlier fuel pumps had problems and they replaced it with a "Newer" type.

here's the latest, after 2 days at dealership, dealership and nissan think it is a bad engine control module. put new one on, problem solved. i drive it 6 miles shut off for a few minutes. won't start. after 30 minutes, it starts and runs fine. drive back to dealer keep it running. they shut it off and turn it on and it runs great. service manager drives it about 5 miles and it shuts down. fuel pump is said to be working

just happened to me it was a crank sensor but not sure if it is the same problem there 75 bucks or so or just bring it in to the dealer

did you recently have your air filter replaced at a quick lube place?

check and make sure they put one in. this happened to my 04 maxima and same symptoms as you describe

I was driving down the highway about 80 and my truck just stoped running. I pulled to the side and it wouldnt start so I had it towed to the dealer. They said it was a fuel pump relay....... and replaced the fuel pump....... 2 days later my wife when to take my truck for a quick trip to the store and it wouldnt start..... I was going to have it towed in the morning but when I went out there to try it again it started but with a little flooded smell... hasnt done it again..........yet

Mine quit while i was doing about 90 - same thing as you but when i got it to the side of the road, it cranked in "limp mode" so I drove it 3 miles at 10mph to the Nissan place and when I Cranked it back up Vroom - no problem full power - Service guy laughed -

haha - that was a year ago - never happened again and no Check engine light.....

glad they figured it out and thanks for the info

Its the IPDM-ER (intelligent power distributuion module - engine room) actually quite common for titan no start issues. It will crank over, have fuel pressure. Have seen fuel pumps replaced, ignition modules replaced, almost every electronic part in the truck replaced and always turns out to be the IPDM-ER. It appears that the ecm relay craps out. Parts about $500.00 depending what dealer you go to.
