No..I looked for that also.

Well shit....

I'm thinking you have an ignition problem then. Likely a bad coil pack/distributor or your timing is screwed.

I'm wondering if the timing chain jumped a tooth or two.

I'm thinking more along the lines of it's not really out of time, but the 'puter thinks it is because of a haywire sensor or something.

Do you know how expensive that might be if its the timing? or a bad coil pack?

My suggestion is to go to autozone and get a code reading. (free) They'll tell you what the code means and what parts are likely to be bad, and how much those parts cost.

I would get the compression checked before you spend too much money on all the little things. Also a leak down test might be in order. Good luck either way.

Took my car to autozone this morning..10 codes popped up in the computer.lol..dropped it off at the shop today..Intake gasket was bad, and I had a vacum leak...total bill was $311.06..after dropping $225.00 the day before on tune up, brakes and fuel regulator..oh well, my truck should run like a champ..if I can afford gas this week lol.

Good for you! My bro's 98 Dakota was coughing and not wanting to keep running. Had to replace a cracked vacuum boot off the intake, and that was that!

Glad you're good to go. That old horse is worth it. Hopefully, it will keep you on the road for a good while.

I don't believe Nissan has been around that long.
