My issue started with my beloved 2004 Titan would randomly not start. Sometimes it would take a crank or two other times I would have to try, try and wait then try, try again. I had the started replaced the problem did not go away. Awhile after that I would be driving along and it would just die mid-drive. Sometimes it would start right back up other times it would take a couple tries and waiting for it to start up again. Again, randomly and on few occasions. Now it is happening more, and the truck doesn't like to idle. I typically get some indication when it is going to stall when my low traction light flashes and sometimes when the B-LSD light comes come. I had the check engine code tested and it said 02 sensor and cam shaft indicator. I replaced each of these, and the problem still happens. What do I do now?

Have you tried swapping the ecm relay with horn relay?

 

[ENewton]

Thank you for the reply. we did the switch if the fog lights as a temporary fix. That didn't work. We switched the old ECM with a new one. We had it idling for like 10 min and that was okay. Made it down the road and it died again. Got it started put it in reverse made it back to the driveway and it died again. The one thing that didn't happen was the B-LSD light did not come on. That has been coming on soon before the truck is going stall. What do you suggest we try next?

Check the wiring harness above the rear differential, some people reported that the exhaust pipe broke or has leak and burn the wiring harnes above it also check the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor or change both

Change the ipdm.

 

[ENewton]

Change the ipdm.

The Camshaft sensor was replaced, the ecm replaced, the ipdm was replaced. We tried replacing the crankshaft sensor but at the point the truck did not want to start at all. So put the old crankshaft back in and it starts....runs and stalls and then starts sometimes at the first shot but other times it takes a couple tries and waiting. I also read someone else say fuel pump control module? I am almost to the point of trading; can't drive it and I can't keep feeding her parts.

I can't recall which order but I know that the starting issues came first then the stalling issues. The exhaust did fall off but I think the issues started happing before that happened

Sounds like you got some great advice above....if that doesn't turn out to help id check the fuel pump.

I assume the keys are 2004 also? Maybe the transponder key is functioning sporadically causing intermittent issues?

 

[snorkel]

Have you fix the problem? Pls update

 

[ENewton]

Where the exhaust pipe broke it was further in the back. No wires around it that could of broke.

 

[ENewton]

We have two keys one was programed within the last two years. Issues happen regardless of which key is used.

 

[ENewton]

Still the same issues. We had the check engine light code ran again and this is what it said. 1148, 1448, 1668 two of those, 1031 and 1051. What does that mean? Do I have to take to dealership to de-code the codes? I rather not have to go that route. I would like to keep my arm and leg that they would charge to diagnosis the problem and then they may not have a resolution.

Looks like these have to do with Air/Fuel ratio sensors.

Believe it or not, your first suspect whenever you start having problems out of the blue that appear to be power related, the first thing you should do is make sure you have a good battery in the vehicle - and I wouldn't trust the battery testers at the Auto places. Because there are so many electronics on cars these days that control everything, your power source is more important than ever. A few years back my 04 started doing the same kind of weird things - be driving along fine, pull into a parking lot and shut it off, and it wouldn't start. Odd lights would come on on the dash.I threw a few codes that made no sense. Based on codes I replaced the MAF sensor, coil pack, spark plugs. I did the IDPM fixes and thought the problem was fixed, but it was not. For the hell of it I put in a new battery, since my current battery was 4 or 5 years old at that time. All problems went away immediately.

So I would start with the battery if it has anything more than 2 or 3 years on it.
