My nissan xeterra turned on fine this morning however after driving for about 10 minutes or so my engine shut off, The check engine, oil,oil temp light came on, power steering cut out, my brakes were hard to push, and yeah no acceleration. my headlights and setero are on so i know its not the battery. It will start back up after about 10 minutes of being off then it will cut out again. Any idead? please help, auretsky@sbcglobal.net

I have had a couple of these in for same issue. turns out it was the fuel pump relay under the dash. This was after the recall on the fuel pump wiring harness was done by dealer and issue was still present. Relay was under dash and found a compatible (same values and pinout) relay at pepboys for much less then the correct one. just because it had one extra pin which wasn't used.
