One way would be for the check engine light to illuminate and spit out a code P0300 for a random misfire.
How much does a tune-up cost on a 2003 Nissan Altima?
I paid $360 for 2000 Nissan Altima. I am in Houston, TX.
MAF or a bad spark plug, dirty fuel filters ... maybe needs a tune up
One millian dollars
You must first know what you want to "tune up", it sounds like you might just be talking about oil change, tires, fluid changes. And all that can be done at a service center. tune the engine

Any number of things. Take the car and have it checked by a Tune-up shop.
starting with the redesigned 1998 altima the engine crankshaft was balanced much better to reduce vibration. we have a 1993 and a 1999 altima with the same engine and the 1999 is so smooth at idle i sometimes can't tell if it's running.
As far as I know there are no Nissan coupons. You might be able to go to company who will do the tune up and ask them for a discount so you can save some money.
Price for a tune on a 2004 Nissan Maxima?
When performance and fuel mileage decrease.
sounds like it needs a tune up or most of the time it is caused by a bad fuel injector
