i been a honda guy all my life and i just had a kid and wanted to still be in the car game still, so i wanted to go vip lol
so if u guys can tell me where can i start first would be hopeful..i found out what the shaking was its a right front lower ball joint,

to NICO!

Man that's a bunch of codes! The random misfire one is probably coil packs. They are a common failure item on that generation of Q and you'll probably save yourself a lot of heartache just replacing all of them and the spark plugs with the OEM specified NGK ones. The knock sensors and harness are pretty common too.

The factory service manual is available at http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/

I think the '97 one is incomplete, but the '98 should be practically identical, and should have very good instructions for tracking down those problems.

Good luck!

yea i figured that..so where can i get the knocks sensors for cheap and the harness and the coilpacks?

[Q451990]

http://www.everythinginfiniti.com is a pretty good source for discounted OEM parts. I'm pretty sure someone mentioned buying coil packs on Amazon for an even better discount recently, but I can't remember exactly who that was.

I can't seem to find their post, but I think they bought them on Amazon. After doing some checking, it appears that they're cheaper at www.everythinginfiniti.com at this point.

I saw some knock sensors cheap on Amazon, but I would be a little concerned about them being factory rejects... hard to say though.
