Cutting out when driving??

Cutting out when driving??
Please help.
Before I replace everything, any ideas of something obvious.
My 02 Max 6 speed just died the other day when driving, I engaged the clutch, the lights didn't come on so I suspect the engine was running.
The clock is correct, so no battery issue.
After about 1/2 mile of coast, on, coast the engine started running fine.
There was no popping or puffing like a fuel starvation issue, no over heating, no engine light.
200k miles. I am suspecting a throttle position sensor or the like???

Same thing happened to me. Once the SES light came on I got the code and it ended up being the rear (bank one) camshaft position sensor. I swapped it out and everything was back to normal.

Just bought my 2k2 Maxima SE with 96k...when the car turned off on me on a red light on the second day of driving..I started to think..this private seller got over on me..it started back up and rerouted to Autozone to realize that the Camshaft/Crank Sensor codes came up....I hit the internet and found out that these 2002 Maximas had a few recalls...didnt hurt to call Nissan North America with my VIN#...and BAM!!Three open recalls...Accelerator Pedal....Transverse Link....and drumroll please....Crankshaft Sensor!!! I made an appointment for tomorrow at Star Nissan in Queens to repair these at NO CHARGE!!..I will however have to shell out for 2 Camshaft Sensors...their price are $96.00 for one, $70.00 for the other...dont know if these Camshaft Sensors are an easy fix or should I let the dealership guys come up with an astrological number for labor cost??

Buy the camshaft sensors yourself, pretty easy to install. Great access to bank 2 (radiator side), airbox has to come out to access the bank 1 sensor. 1 electrical clip and 1 bolt to remove for the sensors themselves.
