mr v6 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi, Was driving home from work earlier & felt what I'm sure is a misfire. When my foot was gently down the car juddered a little & was down on power. I have no EML lit. The gear lever wobbles quite badly during acceleration. This lasted about a mile & then it was fine. I've got home, used 3 apps on the phone & no codes are stored. I used Nissan datascan & it didn't show any codes. I did the cylinder power test & the engine made a noticeable change each time a cylinder was turned off then back on. There's a definite popping noise coming from the exhaust on idle too. I changed the plugs in Feb this year for NGK PLFR5A-11 & they've covered around 4000miles, I've not changed the coils, those are the ones that were on the car when I got it. I left the engine running & unplugged the coils one at a time (couldn't reach the one under the throttle body), each one made a difference except for one, so I had the time & swapped it to a place I can get to it easier. The problem has followed the coil. I'm going to get one ordered tomorrow in work, fingers crossed that's all it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr v6 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Replaced the faulty coil with a new Intermotor one & all is now well. I bought a spare just in case I need to replace another at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben–350Z Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Sorry I missed your post. That's almost exactly what mine did a couple of months back, although I did get an error code. As with yours, new coil seems to have sorted everything. Glad you got it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
