I doesn't have an OBD II scanner to check the code but I am looking for buying one on Ebay but I would like to know if it have a better brand than an another one and do I need an adapter?(and where is the connector in the car??)

Or does it have a way to get it with flashing light in he dash?

Thanks!
It could be a number of things. Having the DTC code would be helpful. Go to Maxima.org and search that site. There are tons of discussions about this and other similar symptoms. It could be a possible MAF sensor, upper air intake gasket, O2 sensor and etc.

Just about any OBDII scanner will work. They are generic so that they work with virtually every make. Auto Zone will pull the codes for you free. The connector is under the dash just left of the steering wheel.
