How to Replace a Nissan Ignition Coil

Nissan is a popular car brand in the United States. Nissans are manufactured in both four- and six-cylinder models. Replacing the ignition coils on a four-cylinder is the same as a six-cylinder, just with fewer steps. Although diving into your cars engine may sound a bit daunting, replacing the ignition coils on your Nissan engine is not quite as complicated as it may seem.

Instructions

1

Lift the hood of your Nissan and prop it open. Identify the cylinders on the rear side of the engine. These are cylinders 1, 3 and 5. This is where you will find the coil harnesses.

2

Notice the green tabs on the grey coil harnesses.

3

Push down on the inside of the harness to release it from the coil. This may take a good bit of pressure.

4

Place the harnesses, in the order removed, on the ground so that you can keep track of which cylinder each belongs to.

5

Remove the 10 mm bolt that locks each of the three coils to the engine.

6

Remove the coils from the engine.

7

Remove the cover plate on the front of the engine by detaching the four screws that hold it in place. This will expose the coils on cylinders 2, 4 and 6.

8

Remove the coil harnesses in the same manner as the rear harnesses were removed.

9

Set the harnesses aside in order.

10

Remove the three 10 mm bolts that hold the front coils in place.

11

Slide the front engine coils out from the engine block.

12

Place the new coils inside cylinders 2, 4 and 6.

13

Tighten the coils with the three 10 mm bolts.

14

Position the harnesses over the coils.

15

Reattach the cover plate and tighten the four screws to secure it.

16

Place the new coils at the rear of the engine.

17

Attach the coils with the three 10 mm bolts and tighten.

18

Place the coil harnesses into position and attach them to the coils.
