Cam position sensor.
Check the codes from the CEL.

same thing happened to me about 3 weeks after i bought my car (from a nissan dealership). they replaced it for free. i don't know if they replaced it for free because i had just bought it or the recall. but it took them 3 weeks, so if you could do it in 5 minutes i recommend that route.
