why will a maxima just die idling or running down the road, wait a minute and start right back up every time, checked fuel, spark, comprssion, pip signal and all dtcs. come up cat and o2 sensor, so replaced both and no change,

data logger is still showing crank and cam signal when it dies and still has fuel pressure while dead, but a minute later will start back up
