Default engine shutoff

so I'm having this very interesting problemwith my car. I'll start it up in the morning to head to work and drive it about a mile and because i take the same route to work when i reach this certain light I throw the clutch in to shift down for the turn and the engine just shuts off. The battery gauge says that the battery is good and charged and no other lights or anything else shut off. The engine just stalls out. It starts right back up but I just have no idea why it does this. it also only happens once per trip. Any help would be great because I'm stumped.

No safe mode. She runs like a champ other than this, has problems keepin the RPM's up every once in a while but that's it, and no engine light.

JWT intake possibly? You could search the "6th gear to neutral while crusing at fwy speeds shut off" phenomenon.

What would be wrong with the intake? You think the filter is clogged or something?

Oh. Didn't know that was the question. Yea I do have a JWT. But I've had it for quite a while. Close to 30000 miles. This only started happening recently. What's wrong with it?

not sure, but its common.. perhaps have a nissan dealer raise your idle level slightly.

im not 100 on why it is, or the fix, but theres plenty of threads if you search jwt or jwt pop, etc.
