engine light on and started up rough, help!

Our 92 Maxima GXE engine light came on yesterday and today when you turned the key, and when it started up, the car was idling rough and the engine light went off.

Does anyone know what could be the problem? Could it be the oxygen sensor?

Appreciate any help, Thanks in advance.

thanks for info. I'll ask my husband to check it out when he's back from work and let you know about the codes.

same exact thing happened to me a week ago. my 90 max started very rough, engine light came on for a minute or so and then the light shut off.

well, i drove for about a week after the incident, and i noticed that the acceleration had become extremely sluggish so i decided to let my mechanic take a look at it. turned out i needed a couple new fuel injectors. no biggie, it's not like it will cause a no start or something..
