knock on wood never have to change it, if i have to change anything else on this car or dump any more money into it im burning it

 

i got splitfire ignition coils. i think they kick azz here-->no low-mid range loss + strong after 5000 rpms...

 

Even though I have a 99, I still signed this petition for whatever worth that will be in the long run for Nissan Max owners...

I only had to change the #2 coil, at just over 50K 3 months ago. Not enough dinero to change all 6 at the same time.

I know they won't last forever, but they oughta last at least more than 50K.

 

I have 182K on my 96 and theyre still good (knock on wood)

 

367K, never replaced. I must be lucky ?

 

i was throwing a cylinder #3 misfire about a year ago, but i was running nitrous and had not stepped down to colder plugs yet. so i replaced the spark plugs with a step colder and have not thrown any misfire codes since then. so i've been assuming that my misfire problem had to do with the plugs, but i suppose i should check my coils as well just to be sure.

 

your car = energizer bunny

 

not yet, but I know the coils will go adios at my next tuneup

 

HAHA funny timing for me to see this post because i just replaced my #2 coil this morning on my 75k '99, it started misfiring on the #2 cylinder and threw a cel along with a very rough unbalanced feeling, sure nuff no spark was being delivered and the coil was the culprit, $60-70 at auto parts stores but nobody had one in stock and i had to get to class on time so $108 at Baron Nissan

 

Thanks, but it makes me nervous though! Cars that go forever w/o problems are the ones that die altogether, all at once!

 

I had the same problem as "jgrafe." I replaced three coils and installed NGK sparks and replaced the knock sensor. My max ran good for a few months, but then my max started to have hesitations/misfires again. I changed the plugs, again, but with Bosch, it made it worse. So I went back to the NGKs, and the hesitation is gone. but when I'm stopped at a light, the engine sometimes misfires. any ideas why?

 

Way to go, you just successfully bumped a year old thread within your first 5 posts. Learn how to use a forum board before you **** some members off...

 

no reason to be a ****

 

i changed all 3 from rear bank, only one was bad

 

replaced all 6 at 29,500 miles yes 29k not 129k seems to happen to the 1999 models more frequent

 

Oops, I shoulda read this thread before starting a new one

202k miles, just got a new one. I'll replace them as they die out.
Interesting to note that the local dealership keeps these in stock... sounds like a pretty common thing.

Mine have been replaced.

www.sparkplugs.com has the denso ones.

Denso COP Boots-6 671-6251 671-6251 Coil on Plug Boots, Hanshin Coil $56.65
Denso COP Boots-6 671-6252 671-6252 Coil on Plug Boots, Mitsubishi Coil $61.60

 

I replaced all 6 at 99k, as two were bad and I figured it was only a matter of time before the remaining 4 went south. That bill was not fun...

 

160K on my SE-L...they are still going strong!

 

Bought my '99 at 120K miles with a couple of P1320 SESs... dealer fixed them under warranty, car runs like a top

 

I replaced all six @ 120K miles in my 00 GLE. The symptoms included lots of pinging and intermittent roughness. Been working great since the replacement.

 

jesus dude!! 2 year old thread?!! did you need to report your findings for government research?

 

My 95 Maxima has 171,000 miles, and the coils, HANSHIN, are still good.

BTW, when it is time to replace the coil, which brand should I buy, HANSHIN or MITSUBISHI? Can you also explain why you recommend that brand and not the other. Thanks.

 

Get any you can find with lifetime warranty. Kragen sells them.

 

All 6 at 150k. Ebay coils, so far so good!!!

 

i did but only after i had to replace the ecm

 

I replaced one of my coils in the 1 year that I had my 99', turned out to be bad wiring was the issue. Ended up hitting up junkyard and cutting out female injector plug and pigtail and wiring it into my existing harness.

 

I bought my Max with the CEL on for a Cyl 2 misfire. I replaced the coil with one I bought from fanaticrockford on this board. 20,000 miles later all is still well. (Now at 252K)

 

i have over 163K and still havent had to change them its a 99, Knockin on wood now.
