I've been hearing about all the bad coil packs going out on 99 Maxes. Just need to know when your coils went out? How many miles where on your 99 Max?

 

I think it was around 50-60K.

 

Back three were changed around 150,000 now at 167 I think one of the front ones is going. Keep getting a 0201 code.

 

im just changing mine now. 63,000 miles does it do any damage to unplug one and drive, to single out one coil pack?

 

I had 3 go between 30-35,000 miles. Replaced under warranty. No issues now through 73,000 miles.

 

One of my back ones went bad at 85K. Now I have all Mitsubishi coils and no problems.

 

80k replaced all 6. didnt have a code but i could feel it, put in the mitsubishis runs much much better. btw ks at 78k also. still have that slight hesitation during normal accel. around 2500-3000 thats so many have.

 

I bought my max at 54k. Just turned 95k today without ever checking the coils. Am I right that Mitsubishi models are the ones to have?

 

mine went last month at 160,000 miles and ks still needs to be replaced.

 

I guess after 160k you got your money's worth!!

 

125k miles

replaced all 6

 

Is this primarly a 99 problem, or do other years really get affected by it? 2 guys who I know who were forced to replace their coils also owned 99's.

 

one of mine went at l ike 175k

 

i swapped out my rear 3 when i had around 80k on my car. Made the car idel much smoother.

Did you have a code or something? Haven't heard of a 96 having coil problems with such low mileage.

 

when i had my 99 max, i replaced them three times. once at around 60k, 2nd at 64k, then a 3rd time at 80k. oh, the joy of coil packs.

I lost one at about 185k miles.

 

Just changed all 6 at 128K.

 

My Cyl-5 coil went out at 40k...the rest are fine at 72k still.

 

all 95-99 2000 maybe are effected. they just go bad because of all the heat, the heat will make the internals bad. mine i replaced at 107k. Stock ones on mine were Mitsubishi ones. i guess 99's come with Hanshi ones.

 

I replaced one at 107000....nothing bad sense =)

 

what mitsubishi coils to get, the '99 gallant ones?

no silly. Mitsubitshi makes our ignition coils. you would just get them at a dealership.

 

oh, okay, thanks...silly.

8 years and 90k miles.

 

where is the best place to buy them?

 

i got a p1320 code thrown @ around 65-66k on my '00

replaced all 6 coils for $250 (parts only) i bought it through org on a group deal. i heard courtesy nissan in texas is suppose to be good pricing too.

 

Heat sheild side coils went at ~89k and radiator side went out at ~99K. Never threw a code execpt once (misfire 3rd cyl.) The rest i just swapped out 1x1.

 

126k on my 99 and no problems

 

jerry rome nissan http://www.jerryromenissan.com/en_US/ is the cheapest ive found, it was around 350 for all six. local dealer was gonna charge me 90$ each! use discount code "maxima" for another 12%? off.

 

Bought the car at 129000. Got a misfire code for cylinder 1. Had three nissan coils at the back and two hanshin and one mitsubishi in the front.
Decided to do a full tune-up and bought 6 new mitsubishi coils (jerry rome), 6 ngk plugs (napa) and KS (jerry rome).
Now at 142000 and running strong.

 

Im at 61K and my CEL just came on. I checked the code and its for the coils. Thank god I am under warranty

 

Bumpity-bump

 

So Chuckie, what LSD do you have? Is it worth it?

Well my first coil went out #1 cylinder. Mileage is at 113k. I had to replace it from the Stealer at $101 and all they had was Hanskin. I'm going to replace the rest with Mitsubishi coils. Is mixing them bad? I can afford the new ones, but wonder if used Mitsubishi would be smarter!!

 

They do list for 90-94, if you got them for less than 60 each, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that's not 12% off.

 

Holy one year old thread Batman!

 

So should I play see no evil, hear no evil until i get a CEL? Ive got 45k miles on my 99 GXE and its idle and powerband are pristine.

 

#5 coil went bad at about 90k. replaced the other 5 just to avoid future headaches at 95k.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look for instructions for replacing a coil? Had a cyl 1 misfire and autozone suggested replacing that coil and go from there. From the looks of this thread looks like thats a good start. Should I go ahead and replace all 6 now?
