I've noticed a number of posts about the 'infamous coil problem' with the Maxima. I just picked up a '95 with 197k miles that was misfiring on one cylinder. I found that the spark was arcing through the insulator tube to ground. Nissan, and most auto parts stores only carry the complete coil assembly, but all I need is the 'tube'. I wrapped it in electrical tape and the car runs perfect, even the CEL went out. I think I found what I am looking for at NAPA:Beck Arnley Spark Plug Tube Seal BA0396418. The local store ordered it for me yesterday, so I'll post with my results when it comes in. I'm hoping for a box of 6! I'm wondering how many coils have been replaced that didn't need to be?
