Ignition Coils on 1999 Maxima

The dealer is telling a boldface lie. That is complete bull s*it.

For those with misfiring: If I were you, try to find out which coil pack is bad by continuing to drive the car and pulling codes when it occurs. Usually, it will ultimately spit out "misfire, bank#..." Of course, if you don't want to troubleshoot and want to burn money, changing all six will do the trick. You should also swap spark plugs to make sure that is not the cause of the misfiring and listening to each fuel injector to verifiy they are working.

Since you already had the work done, be satisfied that just about all Nissan dealers in the country would have recommended the same thing although it's doubtful they would have given you that particular line. I hope you saved all 6 coil packs in case this should happen again... unlikely if you don't plan on keepin the car for a while though.

My dealer is replacing a single coil on mine next week because the code said it was #6. The TSB says to replace the identified coil-not all of them.

I had one coil replaced at 40k miles. And, yes they tried to talk me into replacing them all. I'm at 55k and have had no further problems.
