Pulled the CEL today and it was a Misfire. Didnt tell me which bank, but I knew it has to do with the coil packs. Felt it from day one and knew it was something wrong. How long do I have until it can cause damage? Ive noticed it much worse lately, sitting at a stoplight and it'll knock/jerk enough where I have to throw it in neutral so it will stop. Looks like a new project for me to test all the coilpacks by hand, thanks nissan.

i havent gotten a CEL that has stayed lit yet, but i know one day I will...... thank you ignition coils!!

the only time I got a CEL is when the car was misfiring badly due to coils, and the CEL started to flash, i was right by an advance auto parts so I pulled in to get the codes read, and when I came back out and re-started the car it ran like a champ.. no misfiring or anything... I tested the coil packs using an ohm meter and found 2 of them to have 'suspicious' readings... 1.88ohms on one, and 1.53ohms on the other...

i guess until then I will deal with the bumping... unless it gets really bad.

How much do they traditionally cost? My 99 might be needing them soon?

Anyone know if coil packs are covered under the Powertrain warranty? I still have till June on that warranty, and Id love for nissan to take care of it for me.

I dont see why not... Doesn't hurt to go ask for it anyways :P

Is this a common problem with 99's or something? I dont think i've heard much of 95/96 maximas getting it..

Yeah, the 99 coilpacks suck...should've been a recall.
