You can even shut down cylinders one by one for trouble shooting! Is there such a thing for

OTC makes some scan tools that will read Nissan OBDI info. Their website is http://www.otctools.com

Just to warn you though, it will be expensive. I think you have to buy not only the scan tool, but the *set* of OBD I connectors. Which includes everything between GM to Nissan.
