I have a 96 Altima. It has been running fine since I bought it about 3
months ago.  Yesterday I filled up with gas, drove the 2 miles home
from the gas station, it ran fine.  I left about ten minutes later to
go rent some movies.  About 10 minutes into my trip the car
inexplicably cut off. I had to coast to the side of the road. It
started back up and I made it to the store.  As I was leaving the
store parking lot pulling onto the highway it cut off again.  It
finally started up after many tries and I noticed the check engine
light came on.  I made it home after that but I did notice a rattling
noise under the hood.  This moring it started up and I did not hear
the rattling noise but the service engine light was still on.  My
boyfriend drove it about a half a mile to his fathers house so they
could check a few things on it.  When they tried to start it again it
will not start at all.   Any ideas on what happened? Thanks, Raye
