Asked by JSG35 Mar 08, 2015 at 06:30 PM about the 1990 Nissan Pickup 2 Dr STD Standard Cab SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I put my truck in gear it loses power and shuts off. I have redone my timing chain, replace my exhaust, tune-up, mass air sensor, O2 sensor, fuel pump and filter, and distributor. I still have this problem. If anyone know of anything else please share your knowledge. Oh I also changed the computer.
