I have a crazy problem with a 2004 2.4l automatic frontier 75k miles-

after driving several miles the engine feels like it shuts off- I get a BBBRRR from the motor when I try to press the gas pedal , I can slow down to anout 40 and I can feather the gas, almost like a bad fuel filter ( first thing I changed) the vehicle jerks/bucks. Stop and let it sit -I can get a few more miles from it.

at that time I can shift into netural and the engine will rev fine, the guages all are working fine. It is giving me a P0500 (VSS) code , but I removed the VSS and it tested fine. and the speedometer and tac never stop working.

I've changed the fuel filter, cap , button, wires and plugs-changed the fuel in the tank to fresh fuel

how would a P0500 shut off the motor, and I can't decide if it is fuel or electrical 

someone has to have seen this before
