'87 Nissan Sentra

Occasional but constant problem with this old 300k+ sedan, when it runs it will die while cruising down the highway or street. Loses power, will not restart, lotsa gas, lotsa battery power, AND usually after leaving it for half to an hour, it usually restarts. I have tried replacing the coil, swapped the brain box under the passenger seat. As you can tell I am absolutely NO Mechanic, and can't really afford to have one chase this down, but I really would appreciate some help.

Dude. NO offence. I drove a 88 bronco 2 with about all the same roblem and a million miles and spent alot trying to fix the same problems you did. If you can afford it. Just cut you losses before putting to much more money into and get you a different ride

the distributor is bad, this is a classic description that you have provided.

Replace the distributor and all will be well
