CarComplaints.com Notes: Here's a disturbing trend for the 2002 Nissan Altima: the engine starts burning oil like crazy, the catalytic converter goes bad, the head gasket blows and eventually the entire engine needs replacement. Sound familiar? Like a script from a horror film, these Altimas seem doomed to fail around 95k miles.

Engine started misfiring intermittently. SES/CEL would come on & then clear (with no codes captured, really). Finally got a code: P0303, cyl 3 misfire. Swapped plugs between 3&4 and coil between 2&3. Ran fine for about a week before missing again, this time P0302, cyl 2. Replaced the coil (cyl 2 only -- they're not real cheap) and so far, so good (1 month so far).
