Here's an example fault on the NISSAN (Maxima) QX (1995 - 2000)
What to look for:
Check that the amber engine management light comes on with the ignition and goes off shortly after the engine starts. Leave the engine running and ensure it runs smoothly and doesn't misfire (coughs and splutters). If the engine management light doesn't come on briefly with the ignition, then the bulb may have burnt out or been removed to hide a bigger fault.
What it means:
If the light stays on and the car misfires, the most likely problem is the ignition coil pack.
