Can you use nitrogen in your car?

No, as nitrogen on its own does not support combustion. Combustion is technically an oxidation process (reaction of a chemical with oxygen) and without oxygen, combustion of any fuel would be impossible to achieve.

If you are suggesting using nitrogen as a fuel, that is not viable as well since nitrogen is not highly combustible (otherwise air which is 23% oxygen and 75% nitrogen would permanently be combusting).

Nitrogen storage would also be a problem since to store nitrogen as liquid, very high pressures are needed and liquid nitrogen is very cold (-190 Degrees C)

How is nitrogen produced in a car engine?

Nitrogen is produced in a car engine primarily as a byproduct of the combustion process. During combustion, air is drawn into the engine, which contains about 78% nitrogen. When the fuel burns, the high temperatures can cause some nitrogen to react with oxygen, forming nitrogen oxides (NOx), but most of the nitrogen remains unreacted and is expelled through the exhaust. Thus, while nitrogen itself is not generated in a car engine, it is present in the air used for combustion and released with the exhaust gases.
