[@edwardvalencia291]

What would cause it to do this, bad spark plug or just bad coil pack? I’m trying to figure out if it’s should replace the spark plug also or just the coil pack. Thanks for the video

[@kevinliles9870]

@edwardvalencia291 if you're replacing the coil packs you may as well change the plugs at this time

[@PR-nq4dt]

688 other "mechanics" didn't like your clear and precise information!! 🤣

[@DIYtime]

For sure! 😂

[@homersimpson6972]

No Billy Joe Bob and his cousin Cooter with 90% personalty 10% information here. Very professionally produced & highly informative video (which is rare on youtube). Thumbs up to Temachok! Thank you and keep em coming.

[@DIYtime]

Thanks! :) Good point. I figured, no one has time to waste.

[@Razor_36]

Man this is the most down to earth explanation and excellent information. Straight to the point without a bunch of antics claiming the whole car needs to be rebuilt. My Xterra just threw this code on the way home from work at 3am. Not a good time for car troubles. Never even knew you could just buy the boots and new wires! Save a ton of money and hassle. Thank you!

[@bullitt2109]

If only everyone posted such informative and clear, concise videos! Well done sir!

[@TheLisaG86]

This was a great video! Thank you so much! My car (2003 Nissan Murano) was doing the exact same thing with the code p0302, and after watching this video it's running perfect! Thanks again!

[@boldty653]

Great video. Clearly filmed, easy to understand, and excellent explanations! Thank you!

[@alicenkikkert2406]

Thank you so much for this! My car had this exact problem and because of your video, I spent only $42 at the auto parts store and now my car is running great. The video was so clear and concise and you saved me likely hundreds of dollars had I needed to bring it somewhere. Thank you again!

[@SignatureStampsFan]

Great video! I had an P0302. The swap the coils diagnostic tip nailed it. Thanks for the step by step easy video!

[@jmtwilson]

Logical diagnostics, clear, well-explained remedy with excellent supporting video. Nice work. Thanks

[@maryavalos3081]

This is the most simplified helpful video ever!! Thank you so much!!!

[@OCmeiwaku]

super easy to understand and you only give important facts. this is one of the BEST videos i've viewed. thank you ! A+

I don’t have an Altima, but you’re tips helped me fix my Expedition problem. Many thanks.

[@esscube777]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Clear, succinct, to-the-point explanation of what is being done, the reasons why, and the steps of exactly how it's done. Steady camera work, unlike most others in the auto diy field. Very pleasant, professional narration, too. Thanks for your great work.

[@DIYtime]

Thank you, I always put a lot of effort into my videos. I appreciate that you noticed it!

[@kenyshaalexander2770]

I second this comment. I really appreciate the car ride because it shows what you experience when this happens. My car is doing this. Also the information about the last number indicating which coil was even more helpful. Thanks a bunch!

[@DIYtime]

Thanks!

[@pkfogarty]

Nice work! Very clear and thorough.

[@rredgarreal]

Thank you! Beside helping me with my 2006 FX4, it is a very detailed video, with a calmed and clear voice! Not what you usually see and hear around here

[@DIYtime]

+Edgar Alejandro Thank you!

[@gregbellinger5765]

Very good voice tone, pace, and camera work. Explanations are specific, clear, and doable for the non mechanic person. Have a great day.

[@DIYtime]

Thank you!

[@chrisperdue3036]

Thanks for your help!!! Your video was great and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.

[@MamaMia....]

I have had to learn a lot over a short time and I've binged on dozens of videos to figure things out. I can say for sure that your video is well paced (some videos I have to slow down to keep up with) and you show as much as you say. I have heard the word coil pack dozens of times but yours was the first video that made the simple point of taking out the coil - I previously thought it was more like a copper wire wrapped thing. So , yeah - thanks very much, liked and subscribed.

[@DIYtime]

Awesome, thank you!

[@johnbednarek662]

Explained in a common sense fashion. Very pragmatic. Well Done!

[@jeffreycoley4087]

Your production is superb. I have seen professional training videos that weren't as clear and well done as yours.

[@redeclipzegsx]

Dude I just wanna say thank you. You made me look like a fucking bad ass last night. My sisters 2009 Altima was throwing misfire code on 3, same hesitating symptoms. I originally was watching your spark plug video but in the comments lead me to this video. I did exactly this. Went out and got me a scanner, switched the coils around, and wouldn’t you know it the code changed to the cylinder I moved the faulty coil to. Upon closer inspection of it I could tell right away where it burnt out. Fixed this shit in 5 minutes. Thanks my dude. I owe you lunch my guy.

[@DIYtime]

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@julieanneechols]

Great video. Really well shot and straight to the point. Well done!

[@jorgeaguilar3859]

[@cristianderas1052]

Awesome dude, nice and clear video, thank you

[@danielruvalcaba6174]

Great explanation. Clean, neat, and simple. I liked a lot!!! Thanks.

[@JimRudman]

What a superb video. I wish everyone is as clear and concise as you - very well done.

[@killin2nu]

you are a smart man, u spoke slowly and clearly, i can't stand ppl rushing through and skipping to 1000 unnecessary subjects nd jokes instead of focusing on the topic, i mean i clicked to know exactly what was wrong, not spending 75% of time on introduction and business cards and etc. Once again thanks man

[@DIYtime]

Thanks, I know exactly what you mean, that's why I try hard to make my videos that way. Thanks for taking time to leasve feedback, it means a lot for me!

[@angelicabran2625]

this is the best video ever seen, very clear and well explained.

[@DIYtime]

Thank you, I’m glad you appreciated my efforts!

[@isreasho]

good job, thanks, man.... I use Nissan Altima also and am facing the same problem.

[@j.r.g.burritoman5108]

Thank you for making that easy! Some people just race right through the instructions not seeing everything they're doing, you did a fantastic job thank you very much

[@DIYtime]

Thanks!

[@jphil4886]

Just wanted to send a big THANKS! and a shout out to OP.. man you just saved me a LOT of time and $$. You're awesome. Rock on brother.

[@DIYtime]

Awesome! Love hearing that! Happy thanksgiving!

[@stevenchurches6938]

very informative,..nice clear speaking..keep the vids coming

[@michaelkrichevsky]

Thanks man, just the info I needed, so now instead of paying $530 for the repairs cost I was given by the Pep Boys Scamming Shop, I went online and spend $100 and will fix it my-self.

[@vizguru]

Michael, I bought an entire set of ignition coils for my 6 cylinder Nissan Maxima for a mere $80 at Amazon. They were shipped in 2 days. This price wasn't for the boots only, but new ignition coils. I wonder how long they'll last. One year will be enough as the replacement labor was not a big deal.

[@cmichaeldoodah]

This helped diagnose the exact same problem with my son's 2014 Sentra - cylinder #2 ignition coil on plug boot was bad. Each plug boot was only $7.50. Thanks!!!🙂

[@Timthornton1]

I agree with Peter Meiwaku "super easy to understand and you only give important facts. this is one of the BEST videos i've viewed. thank you ! A+" Peter Meiwaku. great video. Thanks

[@rogerlightowler9743]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was having the same problem and was going to order 4 coils totaling $299.95 when just changing the boots cost me $47.95. It is a good and clear video, one of the best. Thank you, thank you.

[@dansegovia0402]

Great job! One of the most useful and compact videos I've seen.

[@keithjames1682]

Simple explanation, good clarity, a lot better than so many so called professionals ..some too technical with their definition as if all their viewers are taking an automotive course to be certified mechanics and others too vague in their description. Guys remember that most of us come here because we recognize we are novices and need help to save us getting ripped off(so common in this industry)This video is awesome . Its .one of a kind, Straight forward, and directly to the point with a solution.. Two thumps up!! !:)

[@DIYtime]

+Keith James Thank you! I greatly appreciate your thouths! That's exactly where I came from myself, and why I started sharing my experiences! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@jeannebarratt1013]

Excellent video! Very clear and easy to follow Thanks Temachok

[@Insight_XCI]

This is EXACTLY what's going on with my 08. Same cylinder and all, replaced all spark plugs and the problem is still there so I guess I need to try a new coil pack now....

[@josecitoramirez14]

Did it fix your problem? Mine is having the same issue!

[@ramirorivera4993]

bro thank u so much. Wonderful video. Easy to understand. Now I can go ahead and fix my problem, same thing happened to me. Thanks again blessings

[@toadie8]

Great video! I have P0306 right now on my 2004 Altima 3.5L V6.

[@jeanjeansaint4926]

I think where is problem coming from . Thanks for this video.........

[@yepo]

You can also run into a misfire if you've done a recent timing belt change. The crankshaft pulley sensor might need to be re-calibrated with the position of the pulley.

[@DIYtime]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@radmansa5514]

Good video clear instructions, it is a good idea to always test the suspected components before just replacing

[@lindam50]

Wow your videos are really excellent and great in understanding and to the point. Now if I can have a mechanic like you around where I live that would be awesome

[@businesscritic5365]

Dont let your boots get dry rot, every 50,000 rub die electric grease on the boots.

[@whjl4894]

Did you fix it ?

[@DIYtime]

Yes, works well til this day.

[@acamikael2540]

Great video. I have a Nissan and I'll certainly be getting with the program! P0301

or if you have a VW it means your car is working great :P

[@marvin0366]

Edward Thayer why is that?

[@edwardthayer9386]

MARVIN MEJIA because you are doing catastrophic damage to your engine or it's components!

[@bFORCe2003]

A misfire can be anything from a faulty coil to a spark plug to a fuel injector or vacuum leak etc.....this is just one fix, others may be something else.

[@BlackCubone]

Tbf. He did say "In my case". But yeah, really sucks trying to diagnose a p0300🙄

[@tumbunrith5180]

just help sharing then.

[@MMGJ10]

Mine has a leaky valve cover gasket. The seals around the spark plug wells are leaking and the oil built up and caused the spark to short. It can be several things for sure.

[@ProjectOverseer]

High quality 'how to' video ... thank you!

[@johnl2124]

Damn, I can't do this myself without a little yellow sticker! But seriously, great video! Straight to the point, no mucking about, unnecessary stuff edited out.. awesome!

[@LakissaJ]

My 2003 Nissan shows a misfire of code P0300...a misfire but a lot

[@paulwagner454]

faith jones ... how did you fix yours. ? I'm going to try Sea Foam & oil change . But Auto Zone , said the code was my 3rd cylinder misfire .

[@LakissaJ]

mines did the samething but I changed out my fuel injections and it stopped but change out the fuel injection wiring harness. your problems should be fixed.

[@marxz3336]

I have a 2009 Nissan Murano and the code is 0300 which means random misfire how do I find out which one it is ??!! Help and thank you

[@paulingersoll9197]

P0300 means random misfire, but P0316 means random misfire in first 1000 revolutions first few minutes. If you don't have P0316, just P0300, it means you are failing on multiple cylinders when the car is in closed loop control, so more likely a sensor (crankshaft position sensor, oxygen sensor, maybe MAF sensor).

[@LakissaJ]

I change out the wiring harness and all the plugs but the car is still shaking when I come to a stop and when I drive sometime it act as if I can't get gas or something

[@predrag1]

There are dozens of reasons why your car will trigger that code. What makes you think thats the way to fix it? Your coil packs could be brand new but your car can throw that code for another reason

[@DIYtime]

Watch 0:40-0:52 I hope that explains your question.

[@realestatewinston4440]

He troubleshooted the problem exactly the way it should have been done: He tested the faulty part in each cylinder and got the same error code each time the part was moved to a different cylinder. Since the part was the only variable, it was the part that was faulty. Great video and done professionally and scientifically!

[@DIYtime]

Thanks!

[@predrag1]

Why u so sensitive lol?

[@DIYtime]

I agree. Everyone, please let's respect each other!

I just showed my granddaughter how to replace her coil packs. She did a great job.

[@DIYtime]

Way to go! 👏

[@KiaSorento-tu5op]

Good job dude. Found this vid from the Nissan club forum

[@audioplugg5310]

My '06 Maxima does the same thing. Starts shaking when I hit 35mph. I already replaced the cv axles a few months ago, and I just replaced the spark plugs last weekend. Never dawned on me that it's the ignition coil. The video helped out a lot. Will update after I change those bad boys out.

[@DIYtime]

Thanks! Hopefully thats it.

[@motoc3]

this was very informative! Good job and thanks!

[@lalocura19]

hello tema! well I replaced the boots(only) and the car works excellent, now I going to change the engine cover following your video!!! thank to you I saved couple hundreds!!! thanks lots

thanks a lot... followed your instructions and the problem was fixed !!

[@DIYtime]

Awesome!

[@vroom362]

Awesome video with clear instructions and root cause determination. Looks like I'll be replacing potentially all 6 ignition coil boots on our Maxima.

[@DIYtime]

Thanks!

[@vroom362]

Well.... Things haven't gone exactly as smooth to date. I replaced the one coil indicated on the diagnostic code (P0304) + spark plug and the car drove great without problem for about 15-20 mile test drive. Then as I pulled into a restaurant at near idle speed, the rough idle began again, then got completely worse until the check engine light came back on and sputtered all the way home. Scratched my head then figured the misfire was O2 Sensor related b/c I had also gotten that code (P0300) simultaneous to the (P0304). Replaced the Oxy Sensor and the misfiring has gotten worse still.... I'll first move to rule out the Cylinders 2 & 6 before things get really challenging. Since the Maxima is 6 Cylinders, the rear bank requires a lot more parts to remove before you can even access cylinders 1,3,&5. So, I'm guessing I'll have to complete the process with the other 5 to hopefully fix the problem. If not there, then maybe something more in wires or otherwise... But at least you got me somewhat comfortable with what to expect in the process.

[@DIYtime]

+Vroom !!! Yea, working on big engines isn't much fun at all. Let me know if it works after you are finished.

[@DIYtime]

+Vroom !!! P0300 is not necessarily O2 sensor related. It indicates multiple or random misfires.

[@vroom362]

Upon reviewing my work thus far (02 sensor, Cylinder 4 Ignition Coil + spark plug replacements), it turns out simply the O2 sensor wire connector wasn't snapped completely closed. Once I got the clamp closed and the connection snug, all the misfire issues were eliminated and engine performance returned to optimal - no misfires and the dashboard gauge turned off. The car accelerated with full normal power and ran extremely strong. SO - my original issues are gone. Since you and others indicate the other sensors are likely soon to fail, I'll look to replace Cylinders 2 & 6, then 1,3,& 5 soon thereafter. THANKS again for the help!!!
