You will have to get the codes checked.This will tell you what could be causing the problem.Sounds like ignition problem.But without codes it hard telling exactly the problem.As far as the morning starts you might have to clean the throttle body.When you get the codes post back and I can help explain the code or codes and what you should do.Auto Zone will check them for free.Hope this helps.Good luck.

95 nissan pathfinder has bad mpg, dies, and jerks

Anytime the check engine light comes on, you check the computer for trouble codes. The codes will not tell you what to replace, but rather what to check.
Let me know what you find out.

2006 after putting gas in my the check engine light came on,had oil changed one week ago first time this has happen .while driving the car its jerking and shaking also doing this sitting. please help.

You could have picked up some bad gas, but it's more likely that your gas cap is not sealed all the way - a common problem. Tighten the cap - if it's the problem the car will start running smoothly almost immediately and the check engine light will reset itself in a day or two.
