I have a 2001 Maxima GLE with 170 000KM on it. The SES light (with Slip and traction control lights) has been coming and going for the past 2 weeks with P1320, did some searching on maxima.org and read about the coil problems.
Was about to diagnose the coils (check resistance and voltages as per the FSM) then a P0301 code popped up.
Great, now I know which coil to change out now, right? Wrong. I picked up a coil from the local Nissan dealer in Calgary ($114 - was cheaper than any aftermarket one locally). I installed the new coil and plugged in my OBD2 scanner and reset the light.
Went for a drive and 1 km down the road the SES light starts flashing (never flashed before), I pulled over and scanned it. Those damned codes came up again (P1320 and P0301). I reset the light and drove off, its still shuddering when stopping at red lights so I plugged in my scanner again and I got P1320 and P0140 which were pending codes. Reset those and and scanned 10 minutes later, P1320 is still pending but doesn't seem to be misfiring anymore. What gives? Bad OEM coil out of the box? Another coil following suit?
