No, it means you have to check the warm-up three way catalyst (California models) or Three way catalyst (Non-California models).

Has anyone out there had a dome light that works intermitintly? My light stays out most of the time and some times it will come on if I tap on it. I've changed the bulbs a few times and the problem persists.

BIG question but let's get started:
 
Here's a good quick description of different types of brake pads:
 
BRAKE PAD TYPES
 
And once you know the terminology, here's a great FAQ section on pads and rotors:
 
Questions About Brakes and Rotors
 
As for struts, KYB is okay. Always buy quality in struts--stay away from any "bargains", they simply will not last. I like Bilstein and Koni but they aren't cheap.

Hello, I have a 2002 and the dome light has never worked correctly. First the overhead dome went, and workes when it wants to... then the map lights started going. Finally the plug in's for cell phone chargers/lighters went. Not quite sure what the issue is.

You might check to see if the same fuse works all three items---if so, check that fuse and its holder. You might have a bad ground in this circuit but finding it might not be easy.

Check on passenger side of engine below a maze of railings---it is attached to the breather/seperator. Look directly in line with the N in Nissan towards the firewall. Inaccessible from above. Must be removed from below. You can barely see it from above, peeping and taunting you!!! I am going to evaluate the situation from below on my '95 Altima tomorrow and see whether to remove the IAC valve or the power steering to get at the blame thing. This is not a job for the meek or stupid-- but I'm gonna try anyway!
P.S. Why didn't the morons at Nissan just put it in the gas tank and give you a fishing line and hook to remove it!!!

01 ALTIMA RUNNING ROUGH by sasyamx
Nov 16, 2008 (10:41 am)

I have a 01 that just started running rough only at idle, it just had a new tune up, the check engine light did come on and it had a p0171 code come up. In the book it says fuel system function lean side, in auto zone book that same code says bank one on the lean side , and the guy says it is a oxygen sensor upstream that is bad . Has anybody had this code and know for sure what it is before i spend $120. on a sensor. thanks
