FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY Fixed my car!!!
OK -- After 7 months of AWFUL driving, several potential diagnosis,
one CONSIDERABLY WRONG diagnosis by the dealer (torque convertor?
puh-lease!), and about 14mpg for the last two months, I have finally
solved my problem:
One bad wire connection...
I figured out it was some wire and had to go through EACH ONE until
I found the bad wire. Turns out the wire is BLACK with SILVER marks
on the side (not lines). It was spliced from two wires into one, and
then spliced again into three wires, each going to a coil pack on the
back bank. ANYONE KNOW WHAT WIRE THIS IS? It had a splice that
needed to be reattached.
I could jiggle the wire and my engine would shut off!
...anyway, so far so good.
Please knock on some wood for me!
later y'all!

did your car even have a remote start system in it?? It could have been some dumb installer pokin around in the ignition coils trying to find a solid tach wire. Tach wire is used for the remote start.
or
it could have been just a factory defect. But i would hope Nissan would wire better than that

My guess is someone cut it by accident, and did a poor job or
re-attaching the wire
BUT, everything is just jim-dandynow, so...NEW TIRES HERE I COME!!!
