If showing code error then the code is probably wrong! The reason could be the radio has been replaced from the original and not updated in your handbook! For radio codes follow this link: Car radio codes in Uxbridge London Gumtree

MAF sensor or idle jet dirty or clogged, a can of carburater cleaner through the intake after air filter (while reving) may clean it otherwise a service may be needed.

Sounds like a "HOT SOAK" problem. Starter gets hot,it lacks power to crank the engine. Possible "Vapor lock". Check for engine codes.Possible bad temp sensor for ECU. If fuel delivery is suspect ,try starting fluid into intake when "no start" occurs to diagnose fuel problem.

potentially you are using to fine a grade oil and the oil is seeping past rings and burning off on startup

a pickup , hardbody means pickup bed walls are double walled, only. aka D21 pickup? USA car, " ? not told engine there, lots of engine world wide, but ours is but 1. USA> 2.4L? Iine 4 cylinder. guess #1 real name of real engine by them.. 2.4 L KA24E I4 (1990-1997) in the USA the EPA banned all those screws. by law. the idle speed is fully computer controlled. all USA cars, idle speed is regulator fast by the PCM using device called IAC/ISC/ has 2 wire IAC. IAC is bolted to TB lower side base, 2 wires. if Idle hot is not at 800RPM and not regulating there are 3 common causes.

1. ISC is stuck (needs cleaning)
2. vacuum leaks, makes the ISC useless. (over-ranged) cracked vacuum lines and more.
3. thermostat bad,engine never gets to 180f up. temp.

the screw here is factor OEM calibration called the never touch screw. yellow circled. this screw sets idle duty cycle to 50% as covered in the real service manual seem carb guys monkey this screw and IAC and PCM go nuts. if was messed with by others I set mine to 0.001" gap TV to bore inside the TB bore'/

Spray a little starter fluid into the throttle body. if it starts, then you have a fuel problem. Possible that the pump is not making connection. If so, hit the tank close to where the fuel pump is located to give it a jolt.

Check the idol position control.

This oil is going somewhere. How old is the vehicle and how many km has it done? Older high mileage engines will start to burn oil as the internal parts wear through use. The amount of oil your losing for each km travelled isn't a large amount. So might not show up as a leak or blue exhaust smoke. As Brett Duxbury asked Is there is oil in the coolant tank? This is a sign of a possible blown head gasket.

Question edited for clarity. Not sure how you 'service' and ECU, as it is a hard wired computer management system with no serviceable parts. For rough idle and shaking I would start with spark plugs and then go onto cleaning the throttle body and MAF. Your ECU Question may be better answered in the specialist Nissan forums in this link. There is some help in the link as well. https://www.google.com/search?q=replace+ECU+of+2001+Nissan+Hard+Body+2.4+petrol+model+with+a+Dictator+Management ..

Fit a pressure gauge to the fuel system , if the pressure is to specs . flip the gas pedal it should rise a few psi , if not check the fuel pressure regulator most have a vacuum hose attached check there is vacuum there . as for the brakes check for faulty master cylinder or rubber flex hose . you can do this by letting a little brake out of the system .
