2011 Maxima ignition coil problem
Hello Everyone,
I'm having issues with my 2011 Nissan Maxima which is going thru ignition coils one after one. About two weeks ago I changed all six ignition coils and spark plugs with new ones. I decided to do this since one of the rear coils went bad so I decided to change them all. Since then I've had to replace about four of the new coils with with new ones. After I replace one I can drive around with no issues but after driving the car for about 20miles the problem returns and the car begins to show the same symptoms. I've checked for corrosion and don't see any signs of any. I replaced the battery with a new one just in case but still. Has anyone here had the same problem, if so can you please provide me with some information. I'm losing my mind here. Thank you in advance.

Richard66,
The codes Ive retrieved have been P300,P303,P304,P305 etc... Cylinder misfires for #3,#4 ,and #5.... The symptoms are the expected sputtering,hesitation in performance which causes the car to idle rough. Once I replace the coil the car runs great but only for a few 20-30 miles and the symptoms return. I then hookup the OBD11 reader and get the codes in the computer.

I put in "P300 P303 P304 P305 Nissan Maxima" into a google search and came up with a interesting article from "Ricks free auto repair advise" You might want to read it before investing in more coils. I would of posted a link to the site but my knowledge of linking articles is lacking.
