PLEASE HELP ive been without my car for a month! and so far have spent about 500$

if it is the TPS can you let me know where i can get one besides the dealership. they expect for me to buy the full throttle body +the sensor for 700$!! they said they dont sell that sensor by itself.. total BS.!? think a junkyard would be a good idea?

take off the distributor car, then remove the rotor, then pull the round black plastic cover out SLIGHTLY. Does Engine oil pour out of your Distributor.?
If so your problem is a bad Distributor. Replace it with a Rebuilt one from Nissan.
A temp fix is to buy electrical contact cleaner and clean ALL the oil out of the distributor

An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor. Failure of the MAF Sensor can cause a drivability problem or the check engine light to illuminate. The cost to replace the MAF Sensor is $488.19 for parts and $19.50 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.
