trouble with my MAXIMA

ok here it is i got a 02 01 code (in english what do i look for) i know my injector might be dumping alot of gas cause you can smell it (in the exhaust), thats the bumper side left and the car shakes . plus i disconnected it (the injector)and the car smells less.. anyother tips and yeah im a dork but when you give me some of the hints can you let me know where the parts are located ....
p.s. the is my second maxima never had a problem with it but MY WIFE has been using my 1995 maxima for the last 2 months and she never told me the car was misfiring and wasting alot of gas (she notice the maxima wasted LESS gas than the YUKON ....she drives 70 miles round trip but now im driving the MAXIMA till its fixed) so can some of you guys help me out? and does anybody have any injectors for sale? i almost fell like getting the 06 MAXIMA thats a sweet ride my MAXIMA use to drive like the 06....lol

I'm not gonna help you since you *****'d to get to your 15 posts, but I was looking at this thread expecting to see a question about an Altima (see title).

welcome to the org newbie......by thew way.....to avoid being flamed on here u need to read the stickies. they will be ur best friend on the org....maybe ur only friend.(next to that would be a Haynes manual which can be purchased online or any parts store)
the stickies are there for u to read and learn from them. i guarantee u that all ur questions will be answered before u even decide to post a question....

to answer ur question since u didnt want to delve into the vault of knowledge in the stickies......here is a lil something on ur 0201-

"0201
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0201 indicates a problem with the ignition coil and power transistor. The ignition signal from the Engine Control Module is sent to and amplified by the power transistor. The power transistor turns on and off the ignition coil primary circuit. This on-off operation induces the proper high voltage in the coil secondary circuit.

The malfunction is detected when the ignition signal in the primary circuit is not entered during engine cranking or running.

The items to check include
- Harness or connectors (the ignition primary circuit is open or shorted.)
- Power transistor unit built into ignition coil
- Condenser
- Crankshaft Position Sensor (REF)
- Crankshaft Position Sensor (REF) circuit

A misfire on any individual cylinder should set a code, and a problem with the CPS should also set a code.

I would have expected to see DTC 0201 along with one of the following DTCs.
0407 - Crankshaft Position Sensor (REF)
0608 - Cylinder 1 misfire
0607 - Cylinder 2 misfire
0606 - Cylinder 3 misfire
0605 - Cylinder 4 misfire
0604 - Cylinder 5 misfire
0603 - Cylinder 6 misfire

You didn't get one of these "companion" DTCs, and that is puzzling. Maybe one of them will show up in the next few days. "

courtesy of Kevlo....i found it in a sticky....
