Doesn't sound like a timing issue. If its only when it is warm. Just try to up you base idle a couple hundred rpm. See if that fixes issue. If you give it light gas will it keep running? Or choke out n die.

if i give it gas it stays running. but sometimes when i step on the gas fast it hesitates a bit before revving up. i cant even see how high the rpms due to my cluster not working

cool so i went to the nissan dealership and bought me a new coolant temp sensor replaced it but still ends up doing the same thing

runs and idles good on a cold start and when it warms up idle becomes rough and dies.
i would try starting it again but has a hard time turning on even if i try pumping the gas.

anybody know any other symptoms that can cause this? much help appreciated

1. Check/remove/clean IACV
2. Check/remove/clean MAF
3. Check/ set TPS
4. Grab a can or carb cleaner or brake clean and spray in various places around the intake side of the car (primarily anything connected the intake manifold.

OP: what is your cold idle?
