hey guys i need help.

i have an 04 350z and just a few days ago it blew an ignition coil. at first i thought i was just and old coil so i replaced it.

i bought a new coil and put it in and once it hit 200 miles it blew again so i replaced it again and 40 miles later it blew again.. what can be the problem?

has anyone experienced this problem. if so please help me..

odd problem, the coils get their signal form the PTu so you might try replacing it?

lol, forgot wat section I was in, I don't think there is a PTU on the Z33, I'd try rotating a differnt COP to numner 1 and replace whichever one you removed, and also check the ECU for codes

done any mods to your car?

who did the ECU? I'd be suspicious of the ECU, maybe find a stock ECU when you replace it as well

Would have been the Best Buy in Lacey, or Olympia. Thanks, always nice to hear compliments.
