Hello everyone!

I;m from Poland and I'm sorry for my english

I have some problem.

When my car is staying in place is shaking little bit more-less 500 RPM to 800 RPM.

While I'm driving it hapen as well but when I accelerate it doesn't hapen.

I have this error codes:

P1320, P0301 and P0600.

I change one ignition coil (1 cylinder), spark plugs but shaking didn't stop.

I read this forum and it seems to me that i must change all 6 ignition coils.
I don't have money to buy OEM ignition coils so I look for other and I find this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IC47-95-99-Nissan-Maxima-Infiniti-I30-Ignition-Coils-6-22448-31U06-NEW-SAVE-/111283093045?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMaxima&vxp=mtr&hash=item19e8fd3e35.

What do you think about this? Lifetime warranty - meybe it's good?

If we talk about code P0600 what is this? What does that say? What I must do to resolve this?

Than's everyone!

 

Welcome to Maxima.org. Are you currently located in Poland? It helps to know you location when suggesting a solution or making a referral to another member who may be able to help. Also, it helps if you post your car's year model and mileage and how long you have owned the car.

1) When you changed the cylinder 1 coil, did you replace it with a NISSAN OEM part or a new coil from an auto parts store? Please let is know the brand of coil used to replace the original.

2) Did you get the engine codes reset after you replaced the coil? Usually an auto parts store has an OBDII code reader that can be used to reset the codes.

P0600 is an Automatic Transmission control unit communications failure code. A good place to start with this code is to look for loose wiring/plug connections around the transmission and the speed sensor plug and wiring to see if any of the wires are loose or plugs not all connecting in the sockets.

Did you have a check engine light on before the misfire problem started?

Was only the coil for cylinder 1 changed?

Do you have access to an OBDII code reader to reset the codes?

When I suspect I have a bad coil on one cylinder like Cyl1 (301) , I swap the coil with another cylinder like #3 to see if the code reappears and follows the suspected bad coil to a different cylinder. First I clear all codes, then test drive the coil in a different cylinder. If a code reappears on the different cylinder, it confirms the coil is bad.

Cylinder 1 (odd number cylinder) is on the engine right side (closest to the firewall) of the engine nearest to the timing cover. The right side of an engine is determined from looking forward from the rear of the engine that is connected to the transmission.

Has any other service occurred that could have loosened other wiring connections?

P0301 and P1320 can sometimes be triggered together. I have seen a report of a single P1320 be corrected with new spark plugs.

How many miles have the spark plugs been driven since the last change?

 

Hello,

I'm from Bytom near Katowice. I have this Maxima about 3 months. It's 1998r, VIN: JN1CA21A3WT309100. Earlier I have Maxima 1996r A32 QX 3.0 to three years and I never had this problem.

I don't bought OEM coil but this: http://www.janmor.pl/catalog/19072/coil/JM5051

When I change the coil i reset error code - but that reappeared - P0600 and P0301.

I have some film - I do this when I stand in traffic jams and as seen it shaking. Here is:
When I drive the same thing is happening about 1500 rpm but above 2000 rpm it disappears.

One week ago I change all 6 spark plugs and this coil:





Do you changed the right coil (1 cylinder)?

This is some parametrs :


Hmm when I change sparks, coil and power steering belt it began to shake at standstill. Earlier only when I drive 1500-2000 rpm it shaking.

For now after replacing the spark does not display an error P1320.

What are you think about coils from ebay? I write to they but I don't have a response. Can You call them and ask about warranty? And what would be the cost of shipping to Poland? Please

 

If you replaced the coilpack and the problem was still there, more than likely your fuel injector is bad. Either it's leaking under pressure or the pintle cap is frayed and/or broken and causing the issue.

As a test, swap a known good OEM coilpack in it's place and see if the code moves to that cylinder. If it does, good, it's a coilpack issue. If it doesn't, I bet it's a fuel injector issue.

 

Hello,

I don't change all 6 coils only one - marked in the picture but the problem has not disappeared. I don't have a OEM coil - only "bad" (previous). I try to do this test.

If the injectors will I have to replace them with new ones or they can regenerate? Is there a way to check them?

 

Take the new one you bought out of the equation for now. What I"m saying is swap two coilpacks and see if the code moves to that cylinder.

New or refurbished injector(s) on Ebay are pretty affordable. You can also send out your injector(s) to be cleaned and rebuilt too. If interested let me know and I'll give you a few links of reputable places that service injectors.

There is no way to test the injectors unfortunately without additional equipment. If you do wind up pulling the injectors and see that the pintle caps are in poor condition or are missing, chances are your injector(s) are tired and leaking or maybe even clogged.

 

I forgot to write about the rather important matter. After changing the coil -engine is louder - sound like a diesel.... before replacing it was not. During the ride, I feel that the engine stutters - like not getting fuel. However, after the addition of the gas is ok and then again sometimes it happens.

 

To support The Wizard's information, I recently experienced misfires on Cylinder 5 random misfires on Cylinder 2 that initially looked like bad coils. Unfortunately, I took the car to the dealer for another reason. The dealer could not solve the misfire issue on Cylinder 5 and declared the engine to be bad at 73,000 miles. The dealer wanted to charge $8,400 for a new engine. So I had to pay $750 (for a misdiagnosis) and a $65 wrecker bill to get the car towed back to my home where I could start applying techniques learned from this site to find the problem.

Here is a picture of the broken pintle caps below. The injector on the right is from Cylinder 5.

I thank The Wizard for finding and reporting the problem on his car right before I started looking for a similar problem on mine.

 

hmmm soo that is the fault of the injectors?

Are you replace them with new ones or recovery for?

Can you give me OEM number injector?

Look this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Infiniti-Side-Feed-Fuel-Injector-Repair-Kit-Filters-Seals-O-Rings-JECS-/271069315763?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1998%7CMake%3ANissan%7CModel%3AMaxima&hash=item3f1cfd82b3&vxp=mtr
Maybe you know what is the OEM number of the aforementioned repair kit? Maybe then I can find in Poland.

hmm how to remove the injectors? I'm women :P

 

I have gas-fittings.

On reflection I think it is not possible to bad injectors becouse it happen (shakes) both on gas and petrol.

If injectors are bad it would not be a problem on the gas but it is so I think it's not a injectors.

 

Did you try moving the coil from Cyl 1 to Cyl 3 to see if the misfire moved along with the coil?
