My 240sx is shutting down by itself whenever and specially when I run it fast and after a while it just die on me in the middle of the highway, is also giving me an engine light as well, after troubleshooting and looking around I got it fixed but then again it came back and still doing the same after I tough it was fixed...Changed my coil ,checked all my spark plugs connections , wires, new spark plugs, new distributor cap, rotor and nothing. I changed my ecu not so long ago and is another number, mines was a 28 and I put in a 26 I don't know if this is the problem but it worked fine for the first week. I'm thinking is a sensor but no sure. What else I can check withiout taking it to a shop and get ripped-off.

i'm having a similar problem, found the cam position sensor to be bad, also blew a 10amp buss fuse, got fixed ran a couple of days, then same thing happened again-any clues what may be actual source of these problems...might help you too!

1996 240sx, 2.4 dohc...been running great from day one, bought new off showroom...heard a small pop sound-stalled suddenly in traffic w/no warning or prior indication of trouble.would not restart, would crank but not start- could not push start-fuel delivery excellent, plenty of pressure - NO SPARK.hear a clicking sound, sounds like electrical arc-very fast seems to be coming from connection point in wires going to injectors, can even physically feel the clicking at connection-mechanic checked distributor, coil, ignition- all good- narrowed down to cam position sensor, also found 10amp fuse blown- replaced sensor and buss fuse- car ran great for 2 days and did the exact same thing again-when this happens car behaves weird electronically, and looses battery power very quickly - any thoughts???
