2002 will be a P11-144 (could be P12 though)
sadly the car using coil packs (QG18DE engine) and of which the timing is completly controlled with the ecu,
The enigne also has 2 sensors (camshaft and crankshaft) these are the same sensor, might be worth removing and cleaning (also check with nissan and see if they where changed under the recall)

Have you done the car self diagnostic?

enigne has a chain,
and sadly in these engine the chain can stretch causing the engine light to come on and poor running
(i just replaced on on my N16)

There is a how to on the self diagnostic for the 144 in the how too section.
Probably worth doing that and seeing what the code comes back with.
