Default Help. car dies

Ok, so I was messing around and I took the car to 100mph and then slowed down fairly fast 100-20 in about 75-100 yds, and the engine died. So basically I was like WTF!!! So I started it back up and did the same run, it almost died again, the check engine light came on, the tach bounced but once I let go of the brake the car resumed normal operation. What is going on????

I had over 3/4 a tank of gas, so what could be causing this?? The car did feel like it was out of gas, so could the long stop be pushing the gas away from the intake in the tank? I kind of find this disturbing as this is a sports car, how can I lose power going from a straightaway to a turn??

Has this happened to anyone else? Should I take it in to Nissan??

HELP!!!!

do you have an intake on your car? i heard of people having stalling problems with the 6mt and intakes. i guess the oil from the filter gets all over the mas air flow meter wire.

The "fail Safe", keeps resetting. If you have an aftermarket intake, check the Oxygen Sensor. Or, Maybe try to set the rev-limiter higher.....Good luck......
