Ign. Coil problem solved...

I've been driving around on 5 cyclinders for about a month now. I pulled a 1320 and a 0300. Coils, I know. But an 0300 doesn't tell me which one. And, to make it worse, it was an intermittant problem. It wouldn't really be an issue until the car warmed up, and I started to get into the throttle.

Anyway, I was reading through one of the 4000 ingnition problem posts, and I came across one where someone suggested unplugging the coils one at a time until you came across one that would make the engine bog. Why in the hell I didn't think of that instead of spending $15 on a volt meter (like a RETARD) I have no idea.

Anyway, I isolated it to a specific coil. Swapped that coil to a new location, and tried it again. Same coil. Replaced coil, problem solved.

Maybe at best

Some people have found success with that. However because things get out of wack it tends to fry the new one you put in. Hopefully you get lucky. But thats why nissan started replacing all 6, the new ones kept getting fried for one reason or another.
