| Dealerships Houston In Nissan Just a heads up on coil replacement. You can go to AutoZone or Advanced and get your car scanned for free when the service engine soon light comes on. |
| Houston Nissan Tx Coils are not hard to replace I bought 2 one for the front and one for the rear bank. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. I just kept swapping coils around in the front and rear banks til the car ran better. |
| Dealerships Houston In Nissan Tx I also replaced all the spark plugs. I got it right on the 3rd try. Houston Nissan Tx. Each time the car threw a ses light I disconnected the battery and swapped the coils around making notes of what I had tried. |
| Dealerships Houston In Nissan Texas Disconnecting the battery for a while clears the ses light. Theres no need to replace all 6 coils at one time unless you have a $1000 bucks to throw away. Dealerships Houston In Nissan Tx. 19th Nov 2006 05:20 I have a read a lot of comments regarding the check engine light coming on in the Nissan Maximas. |
| Dealership Houston In Nissan I have 1995 Maxima with over 200000 miles on it. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. One thing I can tell you is that if the check engine light comes on and the car is running completely normal dont bother taking it in to get it fixed. |
| David Houston Mcdavid Nissan Just keep driving the car and the light will go off after about 1K miles. Its a gimmick to get you to get the car serviced. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. I have only changed the oil and trans fluid at regular intervals and the car has had no problems at all. |
| Houston In Nissan I have never had the plugs changed yes they are still original. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. I put a new starter in at 130K miles put new belts on at 120K new front rotors at 180K and a new fan speed control resistor recently and havent done anything else except oil and trans fluid changes tires brake pads and occasional alignments. |
| Houston Mossy Nissan Texas 19th Nov 2006 18:25 2000 Maxima coil failure diagnose & fix it yourself. Over the last few weeks I had a single coil failing intermittently like when Im waiting in the center lane to turn across fastmoving traffic or when I pull out in front of an 18wheeler travelling at 60. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. I suspect Nissans ECU contains playful AI code that can detect lifethreatening situations and generates failures when the driver is likely to soil their underwear as a consequence. |
| Houston Nissan Texas The problem with an intermittent coil failure is that the ignition fault code stored in the OBD system doesnt show which cylinder failed. The local dealer told me to take it home and drive it until it failed permanently then they could detect the bad one. Next day it failed just before I got home from work so I drove in and left the thing idling and was able to identify the bad coilArray like this. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. When you pop the hood you will notice 2 rows of grey connector plugs with green centres mounted on top of the engine. |
| Baker Houston Jackson Nissan Tx, Nissan Part Sentra Those at the front are for the 3 fuel injectors and those at the back are the 3 ignition coils for the rear cylinder bank. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. Of course each cylinder has a connector for a fuel injector and another for the igniter coil but the rear injectors and the front coil connectors are hiddenArray read onArray Now given that a cylinder needs both fuel and spark to fire we should be able to make it misfire by disconnecting one or the other. Dealerships Houston In Nissan Tx. If the engine shakes worse than that ones OK if it makes no difference then we have found the culprit that was failing all along. Dealerships Houston In Nissan Texas. OK so the connector plugs arent impossible to get off just extremely difficult it can be done with 2 screwdrivers and involves pushing the green centre down against its springs and while holding it pushing sideways on a little arrowshaped tag in the centre of the sliding section. Dealerships Houston In Nissan. If you get it right the plug pops off by itself. |
