Nissan Repair: 2000Maxima Ignition Coils, chip change, coil design
QuestionNissan changed the ignition coil design in July 2000. I own a 2000 Max (built Dec 1999). Can I install the redesigned ignition coils in the 2000 or would that also require a computer chip change?
AnswerGreg,
It is just a matter of changing the coils. The redesigned coils are externally the same. The redesign is internal so they do not fail. I have a 2000 Maxima and the change took under an hour with a ten millimeter socket, extension and ratchet. While you are at change the spark plugs and it will run like new.
