Engine will start for a second or 2 then stalls. Will do this 2 or3 times then engine wont start. Wait an hour or 2 then engine starts.

Lots of guesswork... However, future diagnosis is positive: youll know immediately when she has been healed.

I'd start from swapping the ECU Cont -relay under hood. Next guess would be ign key switch (use bypass wire on the ECU power supply to test.)
Check this page 5 and then p.14

Nissan has color coded relays: its easy tst to take one out and swap with its neighbor... in this swap game you 'dont need to know what youre doing'.
