What's going on everyone, new to the Nissan world and just recently picked up an 02 maxima with 122,000 on the clock, had a couple questions and concerns and I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction..... Getting a couple codes and I wanted to know if anyone had the same issues with their 5th gens.... Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated

The dark side lol... Sure feels like it when you know nothing about Nissan's and have always drove either Mazda's or kias hahah but thanks man I appreciate that warm welcome, finally light at the end of the tunnel, so just the other day I took the car to the dealership for an idle relearn which cost me $110 dollars for something that I obviously caused, not knowing I moved the butterfly on the throttle body and made everything go out of wack.... The verdict, idle relearn took but there were also a couple more codes that came up in which they advised me to get rid of the car because the repairs would cost over $4000 ,I looked at the guy and said "are you kidding me " I just bought this car how can that be possible, so needless to say my hopes for the car we're slowly diminished by the words of the these so called master mechanics at the stealership.... So here's the codes I'm dealing with at the moment : p0011 p0021 , p0300 , I also have a very small evap leak so p0442 came up along with p1456....and I'm also dealing with the horrid noise from the timing chain it does like a rattling noise above 2000 rpms hoping someone can she'd some light and restore my faith in the car
