Ignition coil for 99 max

Ignition coil for 99 max
Hi guys,
Just found out that I need to replace the 6 pep boy coils I recently bought with the Nissan one. I really don't want to spend ANOTHER $500 unless I really have too.
If I decide to go junk yard, do they have to be from a 99 maxima or from any 4th gen?
Anyone know a good site for parts?
Finally, does OEM mean the same as "Nissan" part?

And yes, generally OEM means "original equipment manufacturer"...but the part could be manufacturered by a supplier, such as NGK, Denso, Hitachi, etc.

What happened to your original coils? They couldn't have all been bad.
As crappy as everyone says the 99 coils are, none of my 6 original coils have been replace from failure. (my car has been in my since it was brand new). The rear 3 were replace at 130k when I did the 00vi and one of the 00 coiled failed. At this point any bad 99 coiled would have weeded out after 13 year any 13 to 18 year old coil is a crap shot anyways.

More then likely only one-two coils were actually bad and Pep-boys guy talked him into buying all 6 when it wasn't really necessary.
Any coil pack from 95-99 will fit and also front valve cover coil packs from 00-01 will also fit your car. I'd avoid 99, as others have said they tend to have issues. Maybe not for every 99 but most have problems.

I bought all 6 coils thinking maybe the resistance was just off on the coils or something. Can't really remember what I was thinking at the time. I replaced 1 coil when it was throwing out a cylinder code but but my service engine light never went off.

As stated 99 year coils are trash... buy either dek (2000-01) front coils with gray dot or 95-98 coils... and rears 95-98 only... hanshins arent bad if new... but the mitsubishi used will probably outlast hanshins...

Hey dude I was just about to post in the classifieds when I saw this thread. I have a set of used Hanshins that im trying to sell. They were pulled from a 98 I30 (friends car). I was going to keep them as spares but I really need the cash right now for bills. Hit me up asap so that you can get first dibbs. Only looking for $60 shipped. email is best, I check it all day. marcelius.nelson@gmail.com
