Multiple cyl misfire....wow what a code. Any ideas on what will resolve this, I am going to try replacing the plugs. The coil packs arent that old.

Would fuel starvation cause this? (I'm thinking fuel filter possibly?)

multiple cylinder misfire usually indicates the plugs or coil packs. i've heard the '99 models are prone to coil packs going bad. i would ohm check all of the coils to see if they are in spec and go from there. or just replace all the coils and plugs and start fresh.

I figured he had already replaced any potentially defective coil packs - since he states, "coil packs arent that old"... I guess it all depends on what "that old" means and which coil packs were put in...

the coil packs are less then a year old. Brand new all new, replaced with parts ordered from jerry rome nissan.
I replaced the plugs started her up and the cel light went off within like 20 mins..maybe a bad plug....if it comes back I'll replaced the crank position sensor.

I just saw your other thread about a plug smelling of gas... you might have had a pad plug - or maybe the coil wasn't seated properly on the plug or the coil's harness needed a wiggle (all resolved during your R&R of the plugs).
