p1320 primary ignition signal

Hi,
I have the primary ignition problem with the SES, TCS and SLIP lights on my car. I have read many treads about this. But still not sure whether I should start with changing the coils. If I do all it costs almost $500. I do not seem to be feeling a hesitation or any kid of misfire with the engine. The scanner just gives the core P1320 without any other code. It starts/cranks totally fine. Could it be the camshaft position sensor instead of coils or will the coils get worse with the time ? By the way I think the gas consumption also increased recently. Thanks for the help in advance.

I talked to a tech from Nissan, and he said you don't need to buy OEM, as long as you buy a good brand he said he's never had a problem. Replacing it with OEM doesn't sound like a viable solution
