They said it was a loose belt and charged me $80 since belts aren't covered by warranty. The problem didn't really go away and only got worse.

Service engine light coming on. Car constantly jerks when idling and sometimes cuts out. Spent $65 on a system diagnostic test. Intake valve gasket failure. Nissan dealer wants over $600 to fix issue. After a lot of research i've found that this is a very common issue with the 2000 altima's.
