Tricky-Ricky Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Provided you fitted the correct plugs, then the only other likelihood is that you have disturbed the coil wiring, or other wiring close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would moving a couple of wires to the side cause this problem tho ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipstream Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) What plugs did you fit ? Denso FXE22HR11 iridium Would it be worth checking gap size or should they be already set ?

ZMANALEX Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) What plugs did you fit ? Denso FXE22HR11 iridium Okay, correct plugs so you will just have to retrace your steps. Make sure that all coil packs and maf sensors are all hooked up correctly and that all wiring and hoses removed were put back as they were. Providing a plug was not dropped and the electrode perhaps damaged causing a smaller than required gap, then it must be something that you have just not got quite right. Take your time retrace your steps and you should find it. Edited November 3, 2016 by ZMANALEX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are preset, however I always check them before fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richf Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Did you do one at a time or all at once , its pretty easy to get the coil wiring swapped around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Done one side at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris141084 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Did you disturb a throttle body when changing your plugs? Clean any dirt or anything while the inlet pipes were off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Did you disturb a throttle body when changing your plugs? Clean any dirt or anything while the inlet pipes were off? I did slightly push on the butterfly on one as it looked as if it was not closed all the way, so it's going into nissan on Wednesday as I have now had enough, and I believe Nissan reset the throttles or something like that!

mr v6 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 so what was it then? Throttles had to be reset at Nissan at a cost of £69, but hey you live and learn lol Glad you're now sorted, but I've just Googled this & there's loads of sites showing how to do it yourself with the pedal.. Unless I've missed a trick somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Yup, can be done at home whilst sitting in the car, unfortunately no one seen you had it booked into Nissan and could advise you of the procedure to save you a few quid. Glad its sorted now anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
