Thanks
me and my friend started the car cold and let it idle for 30 minutes. on my friend's computer, it showed that the ECT sensor was off average 30F overall. since it was eatin up my gas milage and screwing up my a/f ratio, we replaced a new sensor, reset the ECU, no more codes, car ran fine.

it was a $75 job done.

Replaced mine today for $30. (GP/Sorenson :Advanced Auto) ~10 Min. install. Car seems to like the new sensor very much. I will know more after the commute tomorrow.

As an aside, why does the car shut off if the coolant sensor is bad? This seems to be sure stupidity on Nissans part. Car in drive going approx. 40mph and bam, shuts down. Shift in to neutral, crank, and back into drive brings me on home. Go figure.

Started out with the 0103 code and progressed to the 0103 + 0908 quickly.
