Hi All!

I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that has been bugging me with a P1320 code for sometime now. As a broke student, I tried to put it off for as long as possible, buy my state inspection is next month so I decided to replace all 6 coil packs and all the spark plugs (NGK PLF ones).

Unfortunately, I still have the p1320 code. I was stupid enough to buy aftermarket coils instead of the OEM, so I have a feeling that the aftermarket ones are to blame, but before I spend any more money, I was wondering if there were any other possible areas to look into regarding the P1320 code. Throughout all of this, the car threw a random p0100 MAF code the other day, but I don't think that would have anything to do with the ignition coil code. I do have the occasional misfire, but I'm not sure if it is the MAF or the coils/spark plugs/something else.

As always, I appreciate any insight you folks can provide!

Based on what I have read it could also be a bad CPS (crank position sensor).

Dont remember what code p1320 is but i also replaced my plugs with ngk platinums and new coil boots about 1yr ago and would randomly still get an ocassional misfire from 1 cylinder. Long story short, my oem coils were still good and i just wrapped the coil boots(plastic part) with electrical tape and to this day i havent had any more spark misfire issues. The spark seemed to be arcing thru the plastic boots before and once i wrapped them in electrical tape everything was good. It was a cheap fix so give it a try. Good luck. just my .02
