0130 is just a faulty oxygen sensor, believe the front heated. IACV is the Idle air control valve.

You should do all of this:

and likely your car will run like new again. Get the new gaskets as well because they are cheap and air leaks suck. Replace your spark plugs while you are at it. Get these which are the ones your car came with from Nissan: http://autoplicity.com/products/4972...keModelFitment

or these if you dont want to spend that much money but keep in mind copper plugs have to be replaced more often: http://autoplicity.com/products/4974...FQSqnQodSHYAKA

That happened to my wife several times. It was her heavy keychain turning the key.

I kid you not.
