Did you check your gas cap? If you recently took your gas cover off and did not put it back on properly the Check Engine Light comes on. Also if you have extended warranty or if your service is cool they can pull up the code and tell you what the problem is.

I shake when I'm cold too. Brrrrr..

Kidding, sounds like you have a misfire. Have the code pulled and you'll know exactly whats wrong.

If you don't have a warranty on your car anymore don't go to nissan for them to figure it out. You can buy a code scanner for your car. This is what i did. the dealer wanted $75 to figure out what was wrong. Then i bought a code scanner and i found out the problem myself. i bought it for about $180.00. It was a good buy.
