coils, coils, coils`

Are the coils off the 2k-2k3 3.5L the same as the 95-99 3.0L??? I have 6 bad coils and a bad knock sensor at 119k mi. and was looking for an alternative route to spending all kinds of cash. I would tend to think they would be a slight difference, but also thought they would fire better, due to the higher output motor. Also, Nissan has bound to improve them over almost a decade no?

my guess is no.
different engine = different coils...

Well, odds are, you only have ONE bad coil.
I think you can find one for about $70US.

don't replace them all, if you only need one!

also, call a Nissan dealership for the correct part numbers for
YOUR SPECIFIC CAR, because there are two types of coils out there.
