Hi guys ,.. I have a 95 gle and bought it like 4 months ago. It had been driving fine and I was all happy until today. Well a month ago the check engine light came on . I got it diagnosed and it turned out to be an O2 sensor, but the guy said this can be ignored for a while and i kept on driving. Today when i started the car .... it started missing like crazy.. it was shaking and trembling like crazy .. although once i gain speed i dont feel anything but when it slows down i feel the missing / trembling again ... ohh my god what has happened to my sweet car ?? can u guys help ! what shall i do ... what could it be .... and do u guys know any nice mechanic in the chicago UIC area ...... or if it is something i can fix my self tell me i am good with tools and cars .....

is the check engine light still on? if so, you can check the trouble code yourself, do a search on how to do that.

i haven't had experience with the 02 sensor, maybe someone else can help you with that

A blinking check engine light means a serious problem. Pull the codes again. You probably have a coil pack gone bad. That could be the reason your getting the 02 error as well.

Pull the codes again and tell us what you find.

njmax u were right man ! i couldnt take it any more and i went to nissan dealership ... they opened up the plenum and saw that a mouse who had nested in there had nibbled the wiring of the coil. the naked wires short circuited and the injector was shot ... had to ****in replace the injector and the coil ..... the whole deal costed me $500. man 170 for the injector, 100 for the coil and the remaining was labour .. but the car runs fine now ....
