When was the last time you changed your fuel filter, disconnect the battery while you do it, as well

The engine light display usually is from water in the fuel filter --unless you have a real problem. Check the Nissan manual on the routine for dealing with this--basically drain the filter (don't take the drain nut fully out!!) pump fuel through the filter by hand before you close the drain, close the drain then run engine. You may need to rev it up a few times if it runs rough. Might be a good time to change the filter as threedogs says.
