I have codes 0201 and 0605 coming up.

I realize its an ignition coil, for cylinder 4. Can someone direct me to finding which coil needs replacment.

Thank you

How many miles on your max?

Also, replaced the coilpacks yet? They're widely known to fail early on '99s.

 

almost 90K on the max. I'm just trying to replace the one bad coil for the time being, looking into a newer max or 06 altima.

i think cyl. 4 is middle back if ur looking at the front of the car....check ur owners manual it shows which cylinder is which

 

Should be middle cylinder on the bank facing the front of the car. Left side of engine is 1,3,5, right is 2,4,6...since (sadly) we're FWD the right bank faces forward.

At least that's how it is on my VG...should be the same on the VQ.

 

duh! shoulda checked the manual first!! lol thanks everyone, much appreciated.

still confused.. if i am standing infront of my car, would it be the middle towards the back or front..

eck

 

It would be the middle cylinder on the 'front' of the engine, facing the front of the car, underneath that Nissan cover plate.

 

i always get them confused....thats y i said check the owners manual

 

left bank, middle cyilnder.

 

perfect, that illustration is exactly what i needed.. thanks!

eck

 

it was all an evil plan by japan to sell coil packs for cylinder 4 and stealerships to make money

i replaced mine with a 3 dollar driver and minimal elbow grease and 69.99 duralast coilpack from autozone

nuff said.

 

...How did you even find this thread?

 

really. 7yo thread bumped for no reason

 

@ least he searched...

it was an evil plan by the legion of n00bs to bump old threads with useless information...

 

Its our fault in the first place. We keep telling them to search....and they do...

 

ROFL!!!!!!





OMG funny shyt man lol

 

True story. You either deal with new threads with already answered questions or old thread bumps.

 

Yeahhh seeeeeeeeee, bump

 

It was the newb gremlins that told him to bump this thread


Back to the question, you either deal with the notorious 99 coil pack problem and buy new OEM packs for it, or you shut your mouth and deal with it!


...............End Thread.



Btw Mods, you should make it cardinal rule #1 when anybody signs up;

If you bump any thread older than 5 years old, you will be banned! Search first!

google searching maxima.org threads is the only way to find them

 

Googled for this phote since I got a Po3XX Misfire, and seen somebody already bumped a 7 yr old thread...
