What to do when your Nissan Frontier loses power?
Sounds like you’re experiencing ‘boost-drop’. When the ECU detects detonation, it deactivates the boost soleniod to bleed off boost and cuts timing to keep damage from occuring to your engine. The only way to reset it is to shut off the engine and restart. I would check the codes to see if your getting a knock sensor code.
Can a Nissan Frontier run under aggressive acceleration?
When the truck is warm, and I pull over, shut it off, re-start it and launch, runs great for that first launch, consistently, then back to being a dog. On the highway it performs well, and under aggressive acceleration she doesn’t sputter or bog down.
Why is my Nissan Frontier running so cold?
The fuel tank was changed about 3 years ago due to extensive corrosion caused by the Nissan fuel pump recall campaign. So to recap, truck runs awesome, COLD, as soon as she heats up, no performance launching from a dead stop.
What causes a Nissan Frontier to stall out?
If you don’t own/want to buy a scanner, most local parts stores will run a scan for you at no cost (they want to sell you the parts). Here are some of the issues that cause the Frontier to stall out. Remember, a vehicle needs air, fuel, and spark to run.

Why is my Nissan Frontier in fail safe mode?
Apparently for some reason, AFTER the knock sensor relocation, and everything I have done to rectify it, with the truck throwing NO CODES, it’s running in “fail safe mode”! Every time the ignition is shut off, the solenoid which controls the S/C BAV, is reset.

How to test the camshaft position sensor 3.3L Nissan Frontier?
NOTE: You can find the ignition coil and power transistor test here: Power Transistor Test And Ignition Coil Test 3.3L Nissan (1996-2004). You can find the ignition system wiring diagram for the 3.3L Nissan Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder (QX-4) here: Ignition System Wiring Diagram (1999-2004 3.3L Frontier And Xterra).

When does a Nissan Frontier lose its power?
When the truck is cold, it’s a beast, runs awesome, instant acceleration, I can spin the tires, it performs great. When it warms up, it loses power from a stand still in drive, off the line. It’s a dog, no power until it gets up to speed.
