Service Engine Soon - need some advice

I recently picked up an 04' SE (27k mi) Oct 2004, from Classic Nissan in Mt. Holly, NJ.
Everything was perfect up until about 3 weeks ago when I first noticed the dreaded "service engine soon" light. To me, I think of the worst situation when a warning light comes on and I have one objective: Drive the car as little as possible and get it checked out asap.

So this is what I did. I first noticed the check engine light about 3 weeks ago and immediately drove the car to dealer to get it checked out. Service Advisor called me the following day and stated that it was a fuel pump meter or something i dont remember what it was called.. (I figured whatever, its under warranty, I'm gonna let these guys do what they need to do to make it right.) Later that day the service advisor called and said everything is good.
I drove 5 miles down the road after picking it up and the light came on again. I immediately took the vehicle back and had them check it out again. The response was, "there was a connection loose to a sensor". After securing the connection the following day, the service advisor called an stated that it was ready to be picked up. All is good up until now (which is about 1 week later) when the service engine soon light lights back up.

I dont know if these guys dont know what theyre doing, but I'm going to take it back this evening. I have a strong feeling that average people here know more than the Nissan "Head Technicians". I come to you guys for advice on what a "service engine soon" light could possibly mean at 27k.

"I dont know if these guys dont know what theyre doing, but I'm going to take it back this evening." I do; they don't know what they're doing. I'd get closure on this issue with that stealership, but in the future try and take it to another one if possible.
