  1. I have read the previous posts with interest in this thread as I am going through pretty much the same issue...I think. 1999 Pathfinder 4x4, awhile back the distributer bearings failed at over 230,000 miles, so I replaced the distributer....I purchased a rebuilt Hitachi from Nissan...put it in an all was well. I think about two weeks or so elapsed and the car some jerking while driving and then at one point just shut off....the jerking was not just before the shut off, it was like jerk jerk drive then at random just shut off. Got it home under own power, fiddled with it for a bit and for no apparent reason it began to work again for about 6 weeks with no problem highway and town....then just shut off with no jerking at light restart....drive a few feet shut off crank no start....then start....got to a parking lot...that night and next morning crank, no start.....codes P1320 ignistion signal primary circuit, P0325 Knock /combustion vibration sensor, P0138 O2 senso9r circuit high voltage bank 1 sensor 2, P0140 o2 sensor circuit, no activity detected bank 1 sensor 2......the knock sensor does nto seem to be concern...also have a frontier with the same engine and i thin kthis code is a common fail point on the VG33. I have a factory service manual and chiltons....have some some time with the voltmeter.....but may need to go back to it fresh as I am learning as I go.......for example I have yet to test the resistor as I am unsure how to unplug the harness that the chiltons speaks of....like the harness may be hidden in the loom which being this old...I am trying not to break too much plastic stuff....the few tests I haev done on the distributor seem good so far but I don't know yet if the cam sensor on distro could be bad.....here's the thing...this problem seems gone again but I don't trust the car now.....I fired it up today and watched the air intake data looking for irregularities but did not see any.....don't want to take it to Nissan yet as they charge a lot and might not fix it.....but it is that cost vs...worth equation.....really just sharing but if there are any thoughts on the transient nature of the problem or anything else, I welcome them. The remanufactured distro was not cheap.....nissan will not consider warrantee swap unless they diagnose on the car.....I bought a cheapo off the net I could swap but at this point the car runs so no point.....just I think nothing was done to fix it so I think at a random point a day or a month from now the car will lay down when I need it....so there it is...
