What would cause it to do this, bad spark plug or just bad coil pack? I’m trying to figure out if it’s should replace the spark plug also or just the coil pack. Thanks for the video
@edwardvalencia291 if you're replacing the coil packs you may as well change the plugs at this time
688 other "mechanics" didn't like your clear and precise information!! 🤣
For sure! 😂
No Billy Joe Bob and his cousin Cooter with 90% personalty 10% information here. Very professionally produced & highly informative video (which is rare on youtube). Thumbs up to Temachok! Thank you and keep em coming.
Thanks! :)
Good point. I figured, no one has time to waste.
Man this is the most down to earth explanation and excellent information. Straight to the point without a bunch of antics claiming the whole car needs to be rebuilt. My Xterra just threw this code on the way home from work at 3am. Not a good time for car troubles. Never even knew you could just buy the boots and new wires! Save a ton of money and hassle. Thank you!
Dude I just wanna say thank you. You made me look like a fucking bad ass last night. My sisters 2009 Altima was throwing misfire code on 3, same hesitating symptoms. I originally was watching your spark plug video but in the comments lead me to this video. I did exactly this. Went out and got me a scanner, switched the coils around, and wouldn’t you know it the code changed to the cylinder I moved the faulty coil to. Upon closer inspection of it I could tell right away where it burnt out. Fixed this shit in 5 minutes. Thanks my dude. I owe you lunch my guy.
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Clear, succinct, to-the-point explanation of what is being done, the reasons why, and the steps of exactly how it's done. Steady camera work, unlike most others in the auto diy field. Very pleasant, professional narration, too. Thanks for your great work.
Thank you, I always put a lot of effort into my videos. I appreciate that you noticed it!
I second this comment. I really appreciate the car ride because it shows what you experience when this happens. My car is doing this. Also the information about the last number indicating which coil was even more helpful. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks!
If only everyone posted such informative and clear, concise videos! Well done sir!
I just showed my granddaughter how to replace her coil packs. She did a great job.
Way to go! 👏
you are a smart man, u spoke slowly and clearly, i can't stand ppl rushing through and skipping to 1000 unnecessary subjects nd jokes instead of focusing on the topic, i mean i clicked to know exactly what was wrong, not spending 75% of time on introduction and business cards and etc. Once again thanks man
Thanks, I know exactly what you mean, that's why I try hard to make my videos that way.
Thanks for taking time to leasve feedback, it means a lot for me!
super easy to understand and you only give important facts. this is one of the BEST videos i've viewed. thank you ! A+
Thank you!
I try to keep them that way!
Agreed
Peter Meiwaku
thanks
Agreed
Thank you so much for this! My car had this exact problem and because of your video, I spent only $42 at the auto parts store and now my car is running great. The video was so clear and concise and you saved me likely hundreds of dollars had I needed to bring it somewhere. Thank you again!
My '06 Maxima does the same thing. Starts shaking when I hit 35mph. I already replaced the cv axles a few months ago, and I just replaced the spark plugs last weekend. Never dawned on me that it's the ignition coil. The video helped out a lot. Will update after I change those bad boys out.
Thanks! Hopefully thats it.
Thanks man, just the info I needed, so now instead of paying $530 for the repairs cost I was given by the Pep Boys Scamming Shop, I went online and spend $100 and will fix it my-self.
Michael, I bought an entire set of ignition coils for my 6 cylinder Nissan Maxima for a mere $80 at Amazon. They were shipped in 2 days. This price wasn't for the boots only, but new ignition coils. I wonder how long they'll last. One year will be enough as the replacement labor was not a big deal.

No shit, Amazon prime is were they get they're parts, then drill the innocent people that walk into their shops
Michael Krichevsky I moonlighted for pepboys, dont ever let trainies work on your car.
this is the best video ever seen, very clear and well explained.
Thank you, I’m glad you appreciated my efforts!
I don’t have an Altima, but you’re tips helped me fix my Expedition problem. Many thanks.
Very good voice tone, pace, and camera work. Explanations are specific, clear, and doable for the non mechanic person. Have a great day.
Thank you!
Great video! I had an P0302. The swap the coils diagnostic tip nailed it. Thanks for the step by step easy video!
This was a great video! Thank you so much! My car (2003 Nissan Murano) was doing the exact same thing with the code p0302, and after watching this video it's running perfect! Thanks again!
Explained in a common sense fashion. Very pragmatic. Well Done!
Simple explanation, good clarity, a lot better than so many so called professionals ..some too technical with their definition as if all their viewers are taking an automotive course to be certified mechanics and others too vague in their description. Guys remember that most of us come here because we recognize we are novices and need help to save us getting ripped off(so common in this industry)This video is awesome . Its .one of a kind, Straight forward, and directly to the point with a solution.. Two thumps up!! !:)
+Keith James
Thank you! I greatly appreciate your thouths!
That's exactly where I came from myself, and why I started sharing my experiences! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I have had to learn a lot over a short time and I've binged on dozens of videos to figure things out. I can say for sure that your video is well paced (some videos I have to slow down to keep up with) and you show as much as you say. I have heard the word coil pack dozens of times but yours was the first video that made the simple point of taking out the coil - I previously thought it was more like a copper wire wrapped thing. So , yeah - thanks very much, liked and subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
This is EXACTLY what's going on with my 08. Same cylinder and all, replaced all spark plugs and the problem is still there so I guess I need to try a new coil pack now....
Did it fix your problem? Mine is having the same issue!
Thank you for making that easy! Some people just race right through the instructions not seeing everything they're doing, you did a fantastic job thank you very much
Thanks!
Thank you! Beside helping me with my 2006 FX4, it is a very detailed video, with a calmed and clear voice! Not what you usually see and hear around here
+Edgar Alejandro
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was having the same problem and was going to order 4 coils totaling $299.95 when just changing the boots cost me $47.95.
It is a good and clear video, one of the best.
Thank you, thank you.
This is the most simplified helpful video ever!! Thank you so much!!!
This helped diagnose the exact same problem with my son's 2014 Sentra - cylinder #2 ignition coil on plug boot was bad. Each plug boot was only $7.50. Thanks!!!🙂
Thanks for the video. So I have taken my car in last week and I was told that I had a random misfire P0300. I knew I was having this problem for quite some time and have changed the spark plugs and coils myself as well as the pcv valve and the engine cover, also changed mass air flow sensor, fuel pump, throttle body, brand new crank and cam sensors, brand new front O2 sensor as well with no luck of the code leaving.
A couple months back I had the code P0420 and was told I had to change the front catalytic converter which then I have done. $800 later.
I was told the other day that I needed a tune up done because of the random misfire. I told them how I already changed the spark plugs and coils about 2 months or so ago. They did not charge me for the diagnostic but just told me that I should still get a tune up done because maybe it was not done right. I left and just got a pack of brand new spark plugs that are more well known as a good brand. I switched them out and cleared the code. Since then my car has been starting up stronger than it was before. I am unsure if the coils that I have bought (which I bought from Canadian tire..I live in canada btw it's an auto-home store) are even doing their job properly? for each coil was about $100 each and I had to get 4 obviously for my nissan. Before my car was having issues starting it would only start once or twice a day. I have checked my car for recent codes today and now I am getting P0420 code again and still have the random misfire code. I am really getting so frustrated with my car! Does anyone have any advice of what I should do? I know fuel injectors can cause a misfire as well but I have checked with the old school method of using a screw driver when it runs and all sound like they are doing their jobs. I was thinking maybe it's time to get the 2nd O2 sensor replaced now since the P0420 code is there. Every shop I go to they tell me different things and honestly I am ready to just drive the car until it completely dies at this point! Thanks for anyone who takes the time out to read this.
when you changed the mass air flow sensor did you also replace the insulator piece. it is a dealer item only.
my nissan has 283000 miles on it.
mine is a 2000 maxima
Fred KREMER what is the insulator? I just bought it and replaced it, cleared the codes and drove it for a day but didn’t Change anything.
It’s all good though I ended up going to a dealership and getting a new vehicle :)
sorry it didnt help your car. those cars have problem with air leaks. causing what seems like major issues. my air intake duct was also split.good luck with your new car. did you get another nissan/?
Great video. Clearly filmed, easy to understand, and excellent explanations! Thank you!
Logical diagnostics, clear, well-explained remedy with excellent supporting video. Nice work. Thanks
Thank for explaining so clear. I understand now! I have a car 2018 Toyota camry se. I'm repair 90% and Im not mechanical and my brothers are so mechanical. My car is 115k mile. I got misfire cylinder 4. I got new coil pack. Also spark plugs
Glad it was helpful!
Great video ---no loud irritating music ---well lit and easy to understand---thank-you
You can also run into a misfire if you've done a recent timing belt change. The crankshaft pulley sensor might need to be re-calibrated with the position of the pulley.
Thank you for sharing this!
Nice work! Very clear and thorough.
This is the best diy video I’ve seen thank you for sharing your experiences 😊😊😊
Your production is superb. I have seen professional training videos that weren't as clear and well done as yours.
good job, thanks, man....
I use Nissan Altima also and am facing the same problem.
Great video. Really well shot and straight to the point. Well done!
Julieanne Echols
thank
i just deleated the P0305 code with a cheap code reader. then i fixed with a motorsystem cleaner by LiMoly and then used a catalytic cleaner by Motull. after 200-300 Km code never came back and i can go full throttle again. just fill the motor cleaner in the tank (50liter max), drive until its almost empty. then fill catalytic cleaner in the tank (30-40liter) and drive. thats it. i couldnt believe it. i read this tip at a amazon recommendation. i swear by god it worked 🖖 my car is a mercedes w203 c320 6 cylinder gasoline engine
Daaaaaaang this guy knows how to make a video.
🤓 Thanks!
This is Awesome,now I know how to fix my car
Definitely give it a shot! It's easy and fun.
I agree with Peter Meiwaku "super easy to understand and you only give important facts. this is one of the BEST videos i've viewed. thank you ! A+" Peter Meiwaku.
great video. Thanks
My 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5 started running rough the other day. I ordered 4 brand new coils and they came in this evening. I'm going to install them in the morning along with the crankshaft sensor because it was throwing a code. However, the car never gave any codes for the coils, but I figured the needed replaced when I found oil in the spark plug wells. I replaces the plugs with new ones and replaced the valve cover gasket. I am going to replace the actual valve cover with a new one in the next week or two, just can't afford it right now because I have bought all the other parts, including a new fuel pump because the fuel gage doesn't work and I figured that built in filter might need to be changed as well. The person I got the car from did some minor upkeep on it but didn't check any of the things I've been replacing. I had to replace the radiator around the first of the year because the old one had a crack in the top. Also had to have the alternator rebuilt. I'm hoping that replacing the coils will fix the rough running. It's doing exactly like you described and around the same RPMs. I didn't check the coils to see how they looked. I should have. I will when I change them out tomorrow. Thanks for making the video.
2 mee it was the best video ever this guy actually tells u car problems I just fixed my car
Thank you so much for a very helpful video. You made my day.
Great! 👍🏼
Dont let your boots get dry rot, every 50,000 rub die electric grease on the boots.
i dont even have a nissan let alone a car with those kinds of coil packs... but well spoken strait to the point, no dumb lame on going explanation about your life history, like in MOST videos here, was NICE
+Randy W
Thanks man, I'm always trying to keep it short and to the point. I know no one has 30 min a day to waste on that...
Great to the point explanation. No fluff, a big shout out to you. Awesome!!
Thanks!
Awesome dude, nice and clear video, thank you
Thanks for your help!!! Your video was great and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
Damn, I can't do this myself without a little yellow sticker!
But seriously, great video! Straight to the point, no mucking about, unnecessary stuff edited out.. awesome!
Thanks, you just saved a lot of people a lot of money.
Always happy to hear that!
Great explanation. Clean, neat, and simple. I liked a lot!!! Thanks.
Great vid, fixed my issue perfectly. Thank You.
+Michael Booth
That's great! Thank you!
Good video. Very good explanation and instruction.
This was exactly the problem I had and it worked perfectly after replacement. P0303 being the particular code I had (plus p0420 and P0826) and the boot had the same scuff.
Did you need to replace spark plugs also?
@@edwardvalencia291 I don't think I "needed" to. The boot had the same notch as in the video. But since the package from amazon came with 4 plugs and boots, I just changed them all. My plugs didn't look great. But with the correct socket for spark plugs, it's about as easy of a repair that I've done.
very informative,..nice clear speaking..keep the vids coming
I think where is problem coming from . Thanks for this video.........
Got this code a few minutes ago and I’m gonna try to brace the cold weather to see if I can repair it.
Good luck!
What a superb video. I wish everyone is as clear and concise as you - very well done.
Thanks for the video!
Once again another good video. xoxo Kiani

Thanks!
Just wanted to send a big THANKS! and a shout out to OP.. man you just saved me a LOT of time and $$. You're awesome. Rock on brother.
Awesome! Love hearing that!
Happy thanksgiving!
This is a very well made video! Thank you!
A misfire can be anything from a faulty coil to a spark plug to a fuel injector or vacuum leak etc.....this is just one fix, others may be something else.
Tbf. He did say "In my case". But yeah, really sucks trying to diagnose a p0300🙄
just help sharing then.
Mine has a leaky valve cover gasket. The seals around the spark plug wells are leaking and the oil built up and caused the spark to short.
It can be several things for sure.
thank you , I fixed my car following this video.
That's awesome!
hello tema! well I replaced the boots(only) and the car works excellent, now I going to change the engine cover following your video!!! thank to you I saved couple hundreds!!! thanks lots
+lalo Miranda
Great!
I also will be doing valve cover on my Altima this month.
Good luck!
whenever the service engine light is flashing that mean "Stop Driving The Car Immediately! !!"
True!
I just drove it around the block to record the symptoms of the issue.
Edward Thayer
or if you have a VW it means your car is working great :P
Edward Thayer why is that?
MARVIN MEJIA because you are doing catastrophic damage to your engine or it's components!
Did you fix it ?
Yes, works well til this day.
I would like to thank you very much for that video I had my car rattling weak took it to the auto store and they diagnosed it it came up with cylinder 4 misfire and I only had to buy the boot ......running very well right now thank you very much appreciate it
+Amjad Alabidi
That's great! Thank you for sharing!
this is so helpful< because i never knew what P0303 meant on the scanner,because never saw this kinda code thank you for loading this to the channel
My 2003 Nissan shows a misfire of code P0300...a misfire but a lot
faith jones ... how did you fix yours. ? I'm going to try Sea Foam & oil change . But Auto Zone , said the code was my 3rd cylinder misfire .
mines did the samething but I changed out my fuel injections and it stopped but change out the fuel injection wiring harness. your problems should be fixed.
I have a 2009 Nissan Murano and the code is 0300 which means random misfire how do I find out which one it is ??!! Help and thank you
P0300 means random misfire, but P0316 means random misfire in first 1000 revolutions first few minutes. If you don't have P0316, just P0300, it means you are failing on multiple cylinders when the car is in closed loop control, so more likely a sensor (crankshaft position sensor, oxygen sensor, maybe MAF sensor).
I change out the wiring harness and all the plugs but the car is still shaking when I come to a stop and when I drive sometime it act as if I can't get gas or something
There are dozens of reasons why your car will trigger that code. What makes you think thats the way to fix it? Your coil packs could be brand new but your car can throw that code for another reason
Watch 0:40-0:52
I hope that explains your question.
He troubleshooted the problem exactly the way it should have been done: He tested the faulty part in each cylinder and got the same error code each time the part was moved to a different cylinder. Since the part was the only variable, it was the part that was faulty. Great video and done professionally and scientifically!
Thanks!
Why u so sensitive lol?
I agree.
Everyone, please let's respect each other!
I paid 67 .00 per the cover I hope works. thank so much for videos
+lalo Miranda
No problem! Thanks!
Nice demo…esp finding that the coil was OK…just the boot creating problem. Thank you.
how to chaange ignition coil 2012 wranglers sport
excellent excellent video! My 2001 Mercury villager (Nissan Maxima 3.3L V6) was getting P0305, after checking everything in ignition, fuel, intake, and vacuum systems I saw this video. I never thought that the boot could go bad and allow arcing, but this was the case and my boot only had a little dent with white and brown dust around it instead of a hole. Cheap ole me just wrapped it good with electrical tape and bingo... don't worry.. I'll replace em soon
Cheers!
+Czech Mate
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
shrugs, that's a distributor system with a cap/rotor/ wire set... i got a 2002 quest with the same engine. so check the cap/rotor as well or change them all as preventative maintenance. my cap was cracked a while back and did a p0300
Nice video man. Very thorough yet direct and to the point. Thank you.
Nice neat repair. New respect for the Nissan Altima engine layout. A little education. A few hand tools. And the repair can be done as a DIY project at home.
Yeah, this one is pretty easy to work on.
Awesome video with clear instructions and root cause determination. Looks like I'll be replacing potentially all 6 ignition coil boots on our Maxima.
Thanks!
Well.... Things haven't gone exactly as smooth to date. I replaced the one coil indicated on the diagnostic code (P0304) + spark plug and the car drove great without problem for about 15-20 mile test drive. Then as I pulled into a restaurant at near idle speed, the rough idle began again, then got completely worse until the check engine light came back on and sputtered all the way home. Scratched my head then figured the misfire was O2 Sensor related b/c I had also gotten that code (P0300) simultaneous to the (P0304). Replaced the Oxy Sensor and the misfiring has gotten worse still.... I'll first move to rule out the Cylinders 2 & 6 before things get really challenging. Since the Maxima is 6 Cylinders, the rear bank requires a lot more parts to remove before you can even access cylinders 1,3,&5. So, I'm guessing I'll have to complete the process with the other 5 to hopefully fix the problem. If not there, then maybe something more in wires or otherwise... But at least you got me somewhat comfortable with what to expect in the process.
+Vroom !!!
Yea, working on big engines isn't much fun at all.
Let me know if it works after you are finished.
+Vroom !!!
P0300 is not necessarily O2 sensor related. It indicates multiple or random misfires.
Upon reviewing my work thus far (02 sensor, Cylinder 4 Ignition Coil + spark plug replacements), it turns out simply the O2 sensor wire connector wasn't snapped completely closed. Once I got the clamp closed and the connection snug, all the misfire issues were eliminated and engine performance returned to optimal - no misfires and the dashboard gauge turned off. The car accelerated with full normal power and ran extremely strong. SO - my original issues are gone. Since you and others indicate the other sensors are likely soon to fail, I'll look to replace Cylinders 2 & 6, then 1,3,& 5 soon thereafter. THANKS again for the help!!!
Wow thank you so much for getting straight to the point and not going off topic
Thanks!
Really helpful video save me $ 400 thank you very much
Awesome!
Great video! I have P0306 right now on my 2004 Altima 3.5L V6.
Very well done. I've heard it said that Nissan is the Ford of Japan. I'm beginning to believe that. For your after-market boots to be of a better design than oem is a clue right there. Also, My dad used to have an 03 Nissan Sentra and replacing the $800 engine computer....it fixed a bad code and an intermittent stall he was having . For the longest time, I said it can't be the brain box because this is a Nissan....they are high quality, they just don't go bad like a Chevy but replacing it fixed the problem in the end. What's with Nissan?
Indeed "Ford of Japan"... 😂
I can't keep up with issues on mine...
I think you must have meant Chevrolet! I have never had the problems out of Ford that I have had with a Chevy.
My Ford 97 F-150 Lariat has 300K+ miles on it and have NEVER been inside the engine!
Only problem I have had is one of the front brakes.
great video,great explanation.you saved me a lot of money & headaches by not having to go to a mechanic for my 2005 sentra. had a code P0304.thank you very much!!
+kblinn68
I'm glad to hear that, thank you for sharing!
bro thank u so much. Wonderful video. Easy to understand. Now I can go ahead and fix my problem, same thing happened to me. Thanks again blessings
Very informative and professional produced video. Thanks
Mp McKee
Thanks, I put a lot of time and effort into them! I'm glad it's appreciated.
Best explained it couldn't be
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick and informative video. This gave me a pretty good idea on how to procede with my Nissan 2006 with P0301 that I just got yesterday. Again, thank you for your time on putting this video together and sharring,
👍🏼
Great video. I have a Nissan and I'll certainly be getting with the program! P0301
YOU ARE THE GREATEST MY BROTHER
it’s hard to imagine coil pack is so expensive from dealer compared to online…i purchased mine and I’m looking forward to see if it work just fine…anyway my codes are from P300 to 3 and i figured it’s time to replace all them after 180K mileage driving for Uber Lyft in only 3 yrs for my 2017 Hyundai ionic
thanks that smart to switch to different cylinders i wasnt sure if i had a coil or fuel injector issue but by using your way i was able to fix no prob. tyty
My pleasure!
thanks a lot... followed your instructions and the problem was fixed !!
Awesome!
I like how your videos are simple & easy to undestand Thank You
+Jay Tyler
Thank you! I always try to keep them that way.
This is good troubleshooting. Thanks brother.
Glad to help
Thanks for your help, it worked for me, very easy and clear. Thanks again!!!!

Thanks!
Awesome job on the video! I am getting P0303 so I will be replacing that tonight.
Thanks a lot!.
SIMPLE ERIC was your problem fixed?
chiemena obinnwa YES. after driving about 2 miles switch on/off the car the light went away.
Thanks again!
Wow your videos are really excellent and great in understanding and to the point. Now if I can have a mechanic like you around where I live that would be awesome
