Loving my Q45 even more

[Shawn_hollen]

For the past month or so I had thought about getting rid of my Q. Reasons being,having a lot of problems with it running properly, not the best for gas mileage, I love V8 engines but gas hogs,and expensive parts and up keep. And lastly I've it was the first car I owned that wasent a Chevy (dad is a huge Chevy guy). But after I've learned more about up keep and maintenance from this site, also seeing how strong the engine is when it's not up to par after I raced the Honda yesterday with a bad cylinder miss fire. I decided to keep it. So I replaced all 8 coils last night and plugs. Took it for a drive after and drive like a dream had all horsepower back acceleration was excellent still need minor adjustments. I will be posting on here for help on them when I start. I became a bigger fan of Infiniti yesterday.

Great news! Changing out my coils and spark plugs this weekend (never done it before). Any tips or tricks you learned from doing it yourself, or did you take it in to a mechanic?

I do all my own work on cars. But this q is the first one that has had so much extra on it so it's like relearning all over again. Just make sure u don't break the plug off losing it up. Make sure u put them back in straight to not cross thread. Do one at a time. I was very carful handling the coils. I made sure I didn't hit them in the wheel well or anything else and the plug grease on the treads it's pretty simple just wasent sure how sensitive the coils r
