Can someone point in the right direction as to where my ignition coils are located, I am thinking of purchasing the hayne's manual, unless someone else can hint me in the right direction.

 

i would get the Haynes book anyway... lift the little plastic "engine cover" that says "nissan v63000" or something like that and three are right there, they are the black things with the "utter" that goes to the spark plug. the other three are on the other side of the engine...

 

ah, well since we got six coils, is there a distributor that controls all of these?

 

How much do I rock? I took these pics of my 00 maxima's engine bay to help somebody else out a while ago. Have fun:

Unscrew engine cover

This is for the front three coils

The three rear coils

One of the rear coils may require you easily unhooking the throttle cable, just to get more room to access the coil.

This is a pretty easy job, and considering how much nissan charges, it's a no-brainer to do it yourself!

 

awesome, thanks! Do you know if there is a distributor though that controls all six?

 

I guess there must be, but I'm not sure

 

This is a distrubutorless engine.

 

really? damn so there is no point where the coils all come together.. sigh.. k.

 

Anyone know the numbering? I have a cylinder 2 misfire I'm pretty sure is a coil....

(i already had the plugs replaced and then looked online and saw the problems this model has)

There is no distributor.

 

come on man--it doesnt take that long to replace the coils--takes me 10 min to do all six of 'em

 

That seems really easy. Other than the to get the cover off, what tools are needed?
