Coil replacement - Ebay vs. Local part store
Hello,
I just got a shaky ride and misfire starting yesterday. realized that my infiniti QX4 2002 (same as pathfinder 2002) has individual ignition coils and the coil on Cylinder 5 is causing the problem, based on Autozone code reading ! Also didn't know that these suckers are such expensive tune up parts (each coil costs around $60). at the other hand they're being sold brand new on ebay for like $60 for the whole set of 6 coils. I was wondering if I can trust the ebay parts and replace all the coils instead of paying $360 for the whole set from local parts store. Your advise is highly appreciated.

autozone parts are junk 80% if its not the original part manufacturer of the time but paying $10 for a coil is probably worst haha
I would just replace the one that is bad, Hitachi is the original part manufacturer HITACHI Part # IGC0006 |

I bought my replacement OEM coil from ebay for $29 each about two years ago and still working. I only replaced the failed coil. Be sure it has the same part # as original. You really have to do your research. Also check out rockauto.com.

gasket
Thanks for the response, I'm going to order my part.
I was told that we need to replace a gasket while replacing the coils, not sure which gasket tho ! my mechanic was talking about plenum gasket or something like that. did you ever get to change that while replacing the spark plugs or coils ?! |

Aftermarket coils are a crap shoot. I've seen and heard about a lot of bad ones. Personally, I would recommend you get the coil from Nissan. If you must go aftermarket, I would only recommend you stick with an OEM manufacturer for Nissan, basically Hitachi or Mitsubishi. Hanshin also make coils for Nissan, but those are the ones that usually fail. As far as the gasket, he is talking about the upper plenum gasket. This would only be necessary if you need to remove the intake plenum to replace the coil.
