Seeing how old the car is, and that it's a Nissan, it's probably like Crack said. It's not getting enough fuel, or it's idling lower than it should. If you have a repair manual for the vehicle, find out how to adjust the idle (usually a screw to turn on a car that old). Does your car have a tachometer, that would help out a lot. When the car is idling you'll want it to be reving between 800-1000 RPMS (varies per car model).
If that does not work, check the air filter first (easier than the fuel filter), if it's dirty and clogged this could cause the car not to get enough air for the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor to tell the car to give it enough gas to keep running. After you have checked that, check the fuel filter, and so on with the fuel system.
