Answer
Gene,

I would check to see if the temperature is normal on the engine.  If the engine runs hot it will kill the sensors.  Next, I would check the fuel pressure to make sure that the fuel pump is not overheating or the relay to the fuel pump is not going out...  If the knock sensor has not been replaced do so and reset the codes and see how it runs.  On, be sure to purchase a Nissan thermostat as they are superior to those at the parts store.
