Service Engine Code P1320

Can't figure this one out...all I have found is Ignition System.
The '00 runs rough first thing in the morning and the Service Light is always on....it was flashing the other day.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

This code refer to 2 descriptions:

1-ICM 4X Reference Circuit Intermittent Too many pulses(exept 1996-98 4.0L )

2-ICM 4X Referene Circuit Intermittent No Pulses ( 1996-98 4.0L )

Let me guess Bad Ignition Coil.

Cheers

I think we have 6, not 100% shure though. if one ignition coil goes wrong I suspect the other one would go wrong soon after, just a though but I'll try to get more infos.

P1320 is usually accompanied by a P0301 through P0306 which indicates which cylinder detected the misfire (1 through 6). This is a very common problem on our cars and the best fix is to replace all 6 coils at once (they are now revised and better) Dave B can send you Nissan ones for $50/each or you can buy them from autozone for the same
