Problem starting when 5-speed stalls

Heya all,

I just got a '95 SE w/115k miles on it. I've stalled it a couple times trying to find the friction point on the clutch, and when it stalls it doesn't want to start back up...
With the A/C shut off, it'll crank and crank and crank, and then it'll almost catch and make a sputturing sound (Kinda like a diesel or an engine low on fuel) and then stall again... It did that several times.
Now, when I clicked the key all the way back it started right up, but I'm not sure if that was just a fluke or not.
Other then that, the car runs great, I have no problems, and it starts up just fine at any time.
Any ideas? I tried to search, but it's disabled again
Thanks!

Those were the thoughts running through my head, and everyone else I've talked to except my sisters neighbor (Who does a lot of custom work on cars)
His response was "I have no clue where to even start looking..."
It would strike me as odd if it's one of those because it starts up just fine at any other time...
I think I will call up a Nissan dealer to make sure all the recalls have been fixed, I'm pretty sure the alternator was one of them

Probably because of the sudden stall, The injectors sprayed enough gas in the chamber which causes it hard to ignite the super rich mixture.
