Ok, my wife's Maxima with 30000 miles on it, is showing a code P1320. Autozone doesn't have that code in their computer. Is this the "Spark Knock" code which means Coil Packs? If so, which coil to replace and how to find the bad one?
Thanks for your help as always,
Jarvis

 

It is a bad ignition coil. The code will also tell which cylinder is bad. I had this happen to my car 2 weeks ago. Very common problem on 5th gens.

The code in entirity was P1320. How can the code tell me which coil is bad? That would be perfect if I knew which one to replace.

You should still be under warranty - have Nissan service find and replace the bad coil. Kings Nissan actually replaced all 6 for me, inder the extended warranty.
