2000 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America

"When it runs, it runs very good!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ignition coil problem:

Step (1) After reading what people said on this site, took the car to AUTOZONE

Step (2) Autozone said there was a misfire on #4, If you don't know cyl. 1, 3, 5 are in the back & cyl. 2, 4, 6 are in the front.

Cyl. 4 therefore is the front center one...

Step (3) Bought the ignition coil from Autozone or wherever you want to go.

Step (3) You need the hex key tool to open the 3.0 aluminum cover (4 screws).

Step (4) Once removed, disconnect the harness, which is the electrical wires going into the coil.

Step (5) Remove the coil & replace.

Step (6) Replace cover.

These were the instruction I found online! These people on here are super smart! SO PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE DEALER, YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF! AND SAVE MONEY...

Hey, I did not even have the hex key toolset - this is how handicapped I am - bought the hex tool kit with rachet set for 15.99... The coil was $72 from Autozone.

Autozone said they could not reset the codes for the Engine LIght to go off so I found online that if you disconnect the + wire from the battery for 5 min or so the light will go off - THIS WORKED...

So the car is running fine now!

Thanks to everyone one here posting! Anyone know how to change the brakes on the 2000 Nissan Maxima?

General comments?

Guys & ladies, do it yourself! Replacing 1 ignition coil took me literally less than 5 minutes, but people are correct because it was the front one - the rear ones are harder to get to!

No you don't need to replace them all!! Don't take the bait!

I'm in New Jersey....And if you need help or more guidance, feel free to email me at: pretender6590@yahoo.com
