I have a 2000 Maxima with 250k on it and I have a code that my local auto parts says is a dealer code. My book says ignition malfunction. I had 2 bad coils and had them replaced and the others checkd and now I canr clear this code it keeps coming back. What else do I try to check to clear this code?

The code is an Ignition System Fault, dealer book says to replace all 6 coils BUT what probably happened is you purchased some non OEM coils and the new coils that parts stores are selling all throw the P1320 code (dealt with the BS for 5 months). Go get 2 OEM NISSAN coils and replace the two that you had recently changed with the non-OE coils and it should fix your problem

I never thought of that, boy Nissan sure is crafty with their stuff. Yes it was non oe coils that Im sure my mechanic replaced them with. Can I go to Nissan and buy just two or do they sell them only in a pack?

Here's a link to IoS (Infiniti of Scottsdale), a.k.a. infinitipartsUSA.com or everythingnissan.com. At 25% off MSRP, their price is very hard to beat.
