Thanks for any and all help in advance,

Billy,
I am a Nissan rep and have seen this many times. Ussualy happens after changing a battery but it could be anything. Your absolutley right it is not a motor it just needs to be reprogrammed. I have heard some dealers try charge for a power motor for the roof etc,etc... But all you have to do to reprogram it is. Hold the button to open. It will open partially. Once that happens hold the button again to open. It will go back further. Now continue this process till the roof opens completely. Than proceed to close the roof in the same fashion all the way untill it tilts up and than back down to closed position. That is the process to reprogram the roof. It may take a couple of cycles but it will work! After the first attempt try it. Good luck. The whole process should take 5 minutes or less. DOn't let anyone tell you different. I have done plenty of these.

A/T, about 70K on it I think.

It's been in 3 times and yesterday they said it was fine. I drove 1 mile home and it started to miss-fire pulling in the garage. I went out an hour later to a restaurant in town and it was a bucking bronco every time I had to idle. It runs fine as long as my foot is on the gas. I've had a coil and injector, plugs and filters replaced

This did happen once or twice in the past and I figured it would never be reproducible at the dealership, but the other night it made itself very obvious when it hesitated off the line for longer than just a couple of seconds, and during the hesitation period it was obvious that the car was ever so slowly moving forward until it finally kicked fully into gear. My car has only 30K miles on it but is out of warranty (the three year default warranty). Question - is there a TSB that would cover this (this is not a fluid leakage problem), and isn't there a drive train warranty that covers this for a longer period of time? Thanks for any help with this.
I had this problem on my Contour once. It suddenly started running like a threshing machine, and it turned out to be a broken plug wire. new wires and it ran like new.
You can also have the injectors cleaned instead of replacing them. And it only 1 is bad, you don't really have to replace them all at the same time.
If you haven't ever done plugs and wires, might want to do that anyway.

Would autozone have a better reader and that's why codes were present?
Can a mechanic tell if the O2 sensor and EGR valve is defective before replacing it?
My car is running relatively good for the mileage and i would hate to spend $350 to $700 replacing these parts if its not going to make a difference.

So maybe clean up whatever connections you can and clear the code. It might clear itself. Sometimes they do.
Sometimes a hard reboot will do it.
Now to troubleshooting this annoying P0138 code. I meant to previously include mentioning that I saw an old posting out on the internet, not on this site, that someone indicated the ECM may need to updated software/firmware, since there was a version of code that could cause the ECM to be too sensitive, falsely tripping the error code? Did you know of this possibility? If so, is this something that is dealer fixed only?
thanks,
