hey guys, i have a little bit of a problem... my car started shaking recently when it was a low speeds/idle in gear. the next morning i saw that the SES light came on, so I went to autozone to get the code pulled, and the guy said that cylinder 5 is misfiring. is there any way that I can fix it easily? like what could cause this. and which one is cylinder five. i tried searching the net and the org for stuff about it but didnt come up with anything. thanks in advance

 

sounds like you have a bad coil. 99,00 & early build 01 are notorious for a high failure rate on the coils. your best bet is to replace all 6 since more than likely one or more will fail in the near future. i will try to locate the diagram that shows the breakdown of the cylinders in case you want to replace the bad one. you can contact dave burnette @ town north nissan or jerryromenissan.com and type in MAXIMA for a promotional code. both end up being around 300 shipped for all 6.

 

coils went bad.... replace them and problem solved... I think we should do a class action lawsuit against Nissan fo rthat...my .02

 

Order of cylinders:

1 3 5 Rear

2 4 6 Front

 

same thing just happened to me 97k on the clock but stiil sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't will look for the best price to replace it . Still have a Q i got two codes 1320 and 0304. @nd is for coil 1at is ignition signal. Can you tell what causes what? maybe problem in wiring since coil still works time to time?

 

I went on the website and found left or right? which side i need for 4th cylinder?
