I HAVE A 1994 ALTIMA WITH APPROX 119000 MILES. FOR THE LAST WEEK THE ENGINE DIES OUT AFTER RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
(NORMAL OPERATING TEMP). AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO SPARK
BEING GENERATED. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE COMPLETELY
COOLS BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, THERE IS
PLENTY OF SPARK. LIST OF TROUBLE SHOOTING IS BELOW.
1. CHECK FUEL PUMP.
checked good
2. CHANGED FUEL FILTER
3. CHANGED ROTOR CAP/ROTOR
4. CHECKED IGNITION MODULE
checked good (two different stores)
5. ENGINE TEMP IS NORMAL AND FANS CYCLING NORMAL
If anyone has any suggestions it would be great!

I Have a 96 Nissan Altima w\ only 65,000 miles. I am having that same problem, where the car starts and runs fine for a few minutes but then it starts missing then eventually shuts off. I replaced the Distributor, plugs, and wires. The car still has the problem... If i ever get it fixed... I would post what the problem was.

Confirm that the camshaft sensor is working with the warm engine and check for ECU codes as well.
