Change tire sizes recently? First thing is first, unplug your battery for an hour or more and plug it back in. See if problem persist. The dealership would be your best shop to troubleshoot a problem like that but more than likely is an easy fix that you would learn how to fix with a little research. Good luck.

$80 to hook your computer up and run a diagnostics. The VDC is what is keeping your car from turning back over. The only thing i can think of the VDC acting up would be improper tire sizes. For a 19" (8.5 x 9.5) rim idealy you shoudl be running 275/35/19 rears and 255/40/19 fronts. Good way to tell if is your rims (which is probably it) will be to throw the stockies back on there and see if the problem continues. More than likely you have incorrect tire sizing therefore messing with the VDC which will kick in, stall you out, and prevent you from recranking the engine. Go to nissan, they will be able to help you even know it will cost you a pretty penny.
