Will a Bad starter Trip a Check Engine Light?
Took my car in and I have the noturious starter grind most high milage 95 starters get. I tried to start this morning and it was turning over and was just hard to start with the motor sputtering. Then check engine light came on. I took it to nissan and they said it was the starter. Does a bad starter trip the engine light?

Two different problems. From my experience, the more common starter problem is the development of dead spots (turn the key, no cranking).
It sounds like Gumby510 had a problem where the starter was cranking, but not in a standard pattern and disrupted the normal rhythm of pulses from the crankshaft positioning sensor. See DTC 0407
