Altima GXE
My daughter's Altima does the same thing. Turn on the A/C and it idles like it did when it was new. From all indications it seems to be the intake manifold gasket. The check engine light comes on intermittently.
I did replace the obvious first, plugs, distributor cap, wires, filters and nothing improved. The fuel economy decreased after I replaced those items, which I thought was very strange. I have read many Altima forums and so far from 96 thru 2003 most rough idling was caused from the intake gasket being bad. I read on a few forums where the gasket had been replaced and 3 months later it needed replacing again.
