needs help 04 maxima missing

car runs fine for 20-30 minutes and then starts missing and throwing the multiple random mis fire code. I've replaced the plugs and still does the same thing. how do i go about checking to make sure the coils are still good? it has 114,000 miles on it.

I thought missing as in stoken or lost...was like how the eff does your max go missing? it ain't a dog, it don't run away...


Did you replace the plugs with the proper ones? NGK Platinums? Next stop is ignition coils.

You can test the coils but even if one tests good it can still be bad. I'd just buy a used set and replace all of them.

So the car finally gave me a specific cylinder that was miss firing after swapping the coil from 4 to 2 I was hoping number two cylinder would start missfiring,but it didn't unplugged number 4 injector and car did change how it was running so looks like its a dead injector.
