This could be an issue with a Mass Airflow Sensor or the idle valve. The mass air flow sensor tells the on board computer the amount of air coming into the engine and the idle valve controls air intake while the car is idle and the throttle isn't open. If both of these parts are broken the on board computer may not realize enough air is entering the engine for a proper air/fuel mixture. If the on board computer isn't sensing correctly then it will cut power to the engine to prevent damage.

sounds like my car is misfirering or mist. I CHANGED THE PLUG LEADS, NEW ROUTER AND NEW DISTRIBUTERCAP. IT IS USING A LOT OF PETROL
I have a 2001 Sentra and it does the same thing. I replaced the spark plugs and it improved the issue but the check engine light still flashes.
