Diagnosing 0300 and 1320 codes

I didn't know where to post this. Sorry if rules are violated. I had a total of 3 ignition coils go out. All 6 spark plugs were burnt. I replaced all 6 ignition coils and spark plugs. I had a random cylinder misfire code and a p1320 code. After replacing said parts, I cleared the codes and drove a little. Went back to have the codes pulled again. The cylinder misfire is gone (go figure) but the 1320 is still there. I have recently replaced the altenator, plugs and coils, camshaft sensor. What could it be and how can I check it? I need some help. Thank you.

If you used aftermarket coilpacks, that's your issue with the CEL and P1320.

Only way to get the light off is to go OEM.
Rockauto has them cheaper than most.

^Agreed.

What year Max do you have? LMK so I can move the thread to the right spot.

Your condenser (no, not your AC condenser...) could be shot.

If you download the FSM in my signature, it tells you exactly how to troubleshoot that code. I just went through this on a customer's car.

Chances are the 1320 is just a byproduct of the original misfire, so once you put in OEM coils, it might just go away. Could also be one of the injectors having a small misfire.

A buddy of mine told me it could be a crankshaft sensor since I replaced the camshaft sensor and didn't replace the crank.

This is true. the crank sensor (ref) is listed as one of the possible culprits for the 1320 code.

After looking at the Manuel and doing some research...I really think it's the crack sensor. Thank you for the help wizard. Would you happen to know the best place for info on custom interior. Also yeah, I'm using the app for android . And for some reason the sig. Are showing. But oh well.

What year is your Max maxima0117?

As far as custom interior, I assume you mean upholstery? or simple things like custom shift boots, armrest covers, shift ***** etc?
