Default Car gave out at a stoplight

I was at a stoplight earlier today and my car suddenly had all warning lights on then kinda gave out for a second. Afterwards wouldn’t accelerate so I had to turn it off and turn it back on to which it barely started then the steering became really stiff and hard to turn. An hour later it was fine for about 20 minutes then gave out again I’m being told it’s the crankshaft sensor which I hope it is but any further help would be much appreciated

Sorry to hear your Z had some problems. It´s worth doing some research on ´limp mode´ and why Nissan put it into the ECM software. Also, post your year and mileage to give us a better idea of your Z.
