2000 GLe with P1320 code

I have had the SES light come on in my 2000 GLE for several months. I had the code pulled at Autozone a couple of months ago and got P1320 with no other code. The light always goes out after a week or two. I just got another SES light and pulled the code...P1320 again. I assume I have an intermittent problem with an ignition coil. Is there any way to diagnose which coil if it isn't setting a code? I just got a code reader, so I can at least turn the light off after checking the code. Any help will be appreciated. Bruce

You can seek in some search engine to find out what P1320. There is a website that has instruction to teach you how to read flash code from your Maxima "Service Engine Soon" light. It seems there are problems with ignition coils. These problem are common and well known to 97-00 Maxima. I had an identical problem. I changed a coil # 2 (don't know why most happened on # 2 coil). It works fine.

mmmm. same thing happened to me. on my 2000 SE. My local shop read P1320 and I had am intermittent rough idle condition... The local shop cleaned my grounds for $70 and wanted to change the crank sensor.., i totally disagreed with him... thinking it was the coil pak myself.

Anyway, my point is that - I believe that the diag tool used by non-nissan shops do not provide all the codes easily in all situations if there are multiple codes to report. My local guy said the same "only one code" available.

Nissan dealer got all the codes quickly (coil #4 for me).

Just my opinion: Autozone and local shops have a generic diag tool that reads codes for all car manufactures using different keys. This is fine for

99% of the cases. But some problems can be a little tricker to pull all the codes. Again IMO :)
