That code is an emissions cannister leak and is not related to the engine failure. IT is most likely the crank shaft sensor that is bad.

P0306 is a #6 cylinder misfire. Did u replace the plugs yet?? at 105K miles?? that's the interval for plugs, but the plugs are pretty resilient in those. the will go way beyond 105K. You may need a coil replaced. if u haven't replaced plugs yet, start with those. if u have, replace coil.

if you have no indication of a brake fluid leak then you may have a bad master cylinder that has an internal leak that is losing brake fluid and being burnt (sucked into engine)by way of the power brake booster. if you undo the master from the power brake booster and move it ahead enough to see if it is damp were it bolts to the booster then you have a defective master cylinder.

check how to immobilise the air bag in the wheel first --- at the back of the steering wheel spokes you will find screws that when undone allow the padded section to be removed revealing the nut that holds the steering wheel on.. Pull the horn fuse as it will blow every time you move something. Mark the position of the steering wheel and use a puller to get the wheel of the shaft .

Hi Haley,Do you mean battery cables?

First take the negative cable off the battery. Then the positive cable. Now the positive cable will attach to the starter with a large eyelet, so take off the nut for the cable, then remove the positive cable, the other wires that attach here simply pick up battery power at that point. Put them all back on with the positive cable in the order they were pulled off. Tighten the nut down. Clamp the positive onto the battery, then the negative. To make the job the easiest, don't buy a generic positive cable, but buy the one specifically designed for your car. If Nissan is too expensive, buy a generic one that is the same length with the same connectors at each end. Doesn't have to be exactly the same length, but within 3 or 4 inches. The length of a wire or cable is important when considering how much power is to be applied to the starter-a considerably longer cable will just have less power available at its end.
