I can start the car fine, but after 10 mins of driving it starts to buck and eventually cuts out. Thing is, it always re-starts with no problem. I took it to a mechanic who changed the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, checked the alternator and timing belt. Still no resolution. What's going on?

The car is a 1994 Nissan Lucino. The fuel injectors have been checked and the gas tank has been cleaned.

Its a common thing on most Nissan vehicle, could be your : " Mass air-flow sensor " when the engine is cold, the sensor is at a closed position to trigger the idle valve for more fuel, when the engine reached to a normal temperature then the Sensor should be sending the signal to engine computer to let it operate normally but it didn't, so the engine's computer sensed no signals from the idle valve tell it to run normal, an error occured and shut off the engine, after shut off and restart, you've cleared or reset the faulty code so engine restart but ran into the same situation again. Have it replace, maybe expensive so get a quote first. Good luck!
