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
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

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.
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!
Dont let your boots get dry rot, every 50,000 rub die electric grease on the boots.
688 other "mechanics" didn't like your clear and precise information!! 🤣
For sure! 😂
I just fixed my nissan 2004 nissan sentr 2.5. Car was running on 3 cylinders at times and i got the worst code you can get the CAT po420. Dealer wanted $1000. If you got the codes above or even the po420 CAT. just replace all 4 coils and the spark plugs yourself. araparts.com has all 4 coils for $95!!!! Don't get ripped off by the dealer, everyone should know this.
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!
Here is my Ignition coil repair for the SX4 ua-cam.com/video/H1wXoVz8eFQ/v-deo.html
If only everyone posted such informative and clear, concise videos! Well done sir!
Nice work! Very clear and thorough.
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 most simplified helpful video ever!! Thank you so much!!!
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!
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!
Awesome dude, nice and clear video, thank you
good job, thanks, man....
I use Nissan Altima also and am facing the same problem.
Thanks for your help!!! Your video was great and easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
Great video! I had an P0302. The swap the coils diagnostic tip nailed it. Thanks for the step by step easy video!
this is the best video ever seen, very clear and well explained.
Thank you, I’m glad you appreciated my efforts!
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!
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!
Very good video .. .. neat and easy to understand ... Thank you much ... You are a lifesaver. ... and I will give you.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks!
Great video. Clearly filmed, easy to understand, and excellent explanations! Thank you!
My car has 29k miles and i got the error code p0303 before i left for work last night now i have finished my shift i am going to get the issue sorted out
I hope its nothing serious...
@@DIYtime me too i swapped the coils round which confirmed they are fine as the code didn't trip again i think it's the spark plugs
Try to swap spark plugs then.
Great video. Really well shot and straight to the point. Well done!
Julieanne Echols
thank
Consider that dirty Injectors place huge demands on the ignition system due to a lean mixture,always remember to 'fix the cause,not the problem '!
Thanks for the advise!
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!
thank you but l have problem with my vw Jetta 5 its misfiring and there is code 300and301 l need your heip
Locate and check cylinder #1 using the same method.
This is Awesome,now I know how to fix my car
Definitely give it a shot! It's easy and fun.
My Nissan Altima had the same symptoms i took it to the shop to get it fixed they were gonna charge me 3500 i got it done myself when i saw my coil had the same burn hole at the bottom ended up only spending 100
Awesome!
Thank you so much for a very helpful video. You made my day.
Great! 👍🏼
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,..nice clear speaking..keep the vids coming
why is my air filter burning corolla 2002 cng, i do not have a misfire or any other problems.
+Omar Faruque
I'm guessing it might be your PCV system.
Check it ASAP.
Here is a good article on PCV system:

Great vid, fixed my issue perfectly. Thank You.
+Michael Booth
That's great! Thank you!
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!
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!
Very good video. Excellent instructions.
Thanks!
Great explanation. Clean, neat, and simple. I liked a lot!!! Thanks.
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.
Once again another good video. xoxo Kiani

I always wondered if you could swap #1 coil with all the other cylinders. Now I k ow what I must do.
👍🏻
I think where is problem coming from . Thanks for this video.........
Could this also be true on a Pontiac g 6? And are they really that easy to replace? Thanks
Yes, it would be same approach. As far as easy replacement, not sure, never worked on any of those.
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.
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!
Thanks for the video!
Great video! I have P0306 right now on my 2004 Altima 3.5L V6.
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
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.
This is a very well made video! Thank you!
Excellent videos. Subscribed ! 👍🏻
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
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!
Did you fix it ?
Yes, works well til this day.
One wonders why a pin-hole like this just appears and causes the misfire. I went to the autoparts store to replace mine and it also had the pin-hole allowing the arc and misfire. The parts store had two version of the ignition coil - one was $59 with one year warranty and the other $69 with lifetime warranty. One also wonders why this is. PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE.
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.
Really helpful video save me $ 400 thank you very much
Awesome!
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!
Thank you great video
Thanks!
Fyi cylinders run 1,3,5 and then 2,4,6. Just saying before you make another video.
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 a lot... followed your instructions and the problem was fixed !!
Awesome!
P0303 better start with coil pack,thats cheap then wireset spark plugs n then injectors...😂
I just showed my granddaughter how to replace her coil packs. She did a great job.
Way to go! 👏
thanks!! very clear video
I did all that changing..change out the fuel injections and the fuel wiring harness and not the main one.
Prodigystyler Gifted did that help fix the problem? I did the spark plugs and ignition coils and it shakes now I told I need fuel injectors.
Great video. I have p0302, 03 Nissan sentra, I'll follow this procedure! Thank you!

Good luck!
Very informative and professional produced video. Thanks

Thanks, I put a lot of time and effort into them! I'm glad it's appreciated.
Nice video man. Very thorough yet direct and to the point. Thank you.
Well explain right on point. Thank you sir
Thanks!
thank you , I fixed my car following this video.
That's awesome!
CLICK BAIT! Fold up your " I want to be kinda famous" site. Change the gas cap!? tell the whole sorry.....
My 2015 Nissan did that, but no engine light came on. Taking my car to a mechanic this week.
Changed 6 cylinders, a day later car struggling again on low speed.
Does anyone knows what is wrong?
Any error codes this time?
@@DIYtime I will take the car back to the mechanic that replaced all 6 spark plugs. He thinks it is probably the transmission shudder. No engine lights come on, and now my cruise control doesn't work.
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
This is good troubleshooting. Thanks brother.
Glad to help
2007 Nissan Frontier As far as the P03030, that's OBDII and I retired not long after it came out but I'll take your word for it, bad cylinder #3. If a coil and plug didn't fix it, you got a bad valve, cylinder damage, bad compression ring(s) or possibly a bad intake manifold gasket. Nissan frontier 2007 gets P03030 3 Cilinder missfire, that's OBDII it, bad cylinder #3. If a coil and plug didn't fix it, you got a bad valve, cylinder damage, bad compression ring(s) or possibly a bad intake manifold gasket
Temachok what is your take on this??? burning a lot of oil...cil 3 misfire...
I have a 2001 Nissan Frontier 2.4 -Error P0301. I have replaced plugs, wires, new distributor, distributor cap and rotor button and oxygen sensor. I don't know what else to do. It will not pass GA. inspection same code keeps showing up.?????????help please!!!!
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!
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!
I have P0305. Which one is that because I only have 4 spark plugs?
If you have 4 cylinders, you shouldn't be getting this code.
@@DIYtime thanks man. AutoZone gave me the wrong paperwork. I had to pay a shop to find the real code. That's what I get for getting a free scan lol. The problem is catalytic converter (manifold) and gasket. $868.00
Ouch, sorry to hear that.
Great video. I have a Nissan and I'll certainly be getting with the program! P0301
Your video is great. Right to the point. My boot had the same pin hole burn mark that yours showed. The only part that I found inconclusive was using a OBD II scanner to reset the error codes does not show any misfire immediately when the ignition coil is swapped until car driven several miles. The car misfired immediately after the swap. Replacing the coil with the burn mark fixed the problem. How did you get the errror code to appear immedtately after the swap?
If you just replaced the plugs and wires , most times a cylinder misfire is the ignition coil; they cost about 57 $.
in his case it was the wire or more specifically the coil ignition boot for these coil-over-spark-plug systems
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
Nice video, I wish my Cad SRX was that easy, I have to take 1/2 the enging apart!
I know this video is kinda old.. but I need some help. My Altima 2005 2.5 has been hesitating a lot at low RPMs. I'll replace the coil packs no problem however what I really thing is the problem is that the 3rd spark plug is extremely hard to take out. Any ideas on getting the sucker out? I really don't want to break anything
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.
I was wondering how you could be going through this process without any curse words, momentary breaks in a specified crying room, offending at least one family member, and questioning your place in this world, but then I remembered you weren’t working on a Volvo.
😂
Great to the point explanation. No fluff, a big shout out to you. Awesome!!
Thanks!
Thank you for the video very helpful i have code P0302 on my 2014 Ram 1500 hopefully that is the problem thank you again 🤙🏻
👌🏻
Looking at this video I think anyone who is getting cylinder misfire on a 2.5 Altima you should also check the negative cable in your battery. This is a common for people who are doing thru coils a lot. There is a TSB for the negative battery cable that corrodes and breaks away
It is grounded in two places and both need to be grounded properly or you will continue to eat thru coils
I would change all the spark plugs because the car has over 106000 miles. The spark plug was firing from the ceramic and possibly caused damage to the coil booth.
Great video ---no loud irritating music ---well lit and easy to understand---thank-you
I had code p0302. Replaced all spark plugs and code was still there.I swap the coils between cylinder 2 and 4 and now getting random misfire. I will replace all the coils hope this fixes it.
2 mee it was the best video ever this guy actually tells u car problems I just fixed my car
Very good video. Explained very well. Thanks!!
Replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils still have the issue! I had P0301 and now I have P0302
