Possible but not probable
indications are injector fault, injector wiring fault, ECM fault or mechanical fault
run the fault codes to get closer to the fault

SOURCE: I have a 2006 nissan altima that misses while driving

Misses that occur only under load are typically spark related. Engines typically need about 8000 to 12000 volts of spark energy to idle, but under load and acceleration, they can require as many as 30,000 volts. Weak coils frquently can still make 10-15000 volts, enough for light cruising and idling, but insufficient for load. Further, a defective boot or carbon tracked sprak plug may fire normally at idle and cruise, but "arc" down a black carbon track in the plug porcelin under load. You should take the car to someone who has the equipment to propely examine misfires. Or if you really feel the need to do it yourself, you could try pulling all spark plugs one at a time( assuming you dont have a scantool or trouble code data to point you to a specific cylinder) and visually inspecting them. They should ALL be clean and dry and white all around. If you see any black lines or marks in the porcelin of any spark plug, replace both that plug, and the wire or coil boot attatched to it. If you dont see any dirty or wet or oil soaked plugs, you likely have a weak coil that will require scan, scope, or load testing to isolate. Most professional shops have the equipment to do this.

SOURCE: car has bad miss and no power the check engine

You could have a dirty fuel injector.Just add some fuel injector cleaner into the fuel tank.Try not to get some cheap stuff.You can have the code checked to see what code is making the light come on.It could be a certain cylinder that is causing the problem and the code could help in finding what cylinder it is.Let me know if you need more help.Good luck.

check spark plug gaps -25th- if wide this will cause the miss ,if they are ok or still the same even after re-gapping then its a coil pack but what one ?? they are not cheap and no a code reader will tell you this information what you need is a induction sensed meter like either a nice snap on timing light if they still exist or a automotive multi test meter .

2005 dodge dakota 3.7L 2WD it only seems to happen when very hot outside, especially after using ac, sudden loss of power, especially bad acceleration, does not happen only when ac is running

Have your Exhaust Gasses Recirculation(EGR) Valve checked for proper operation. Check that vacuum lines are good, connected with no cracks. A faulty EGR will cause these symptoms to occur. Typically loss of power on climbing a hill. A/C on is making for the same effect.

How do i replace the coil packs on 94 Mercury Grand Marquis i got a bad miss and a back fire when climbing hills

First check your coils, in a dark area start your vehicle and with a spray bottle with water, spray over coils, if you see arcing, you have bad coils, which could be causing your miss fires. Coil packs are held by nuts or bolts, remove these and then pry upward with fingers while twisting in a clockwise and counter clockwise motion. Remove spark plugs and check them. Might consider in performing a tune up.

We have a nissan 2002 altima that looses power going up a bit of a hill. It starts ok but the battery doesn't keep the charge and the altinator has been replaced. No power when stepping on the gas...

Please check the throttle valve connections and make sure it's working properly.Since there is no power gain during hill climb, the desired torque is not achieved due to excessive wear of gear tooth or due to the problem with the clutch plate.Please make sure these are properly working.

If I have a coil to my cylinder go bad on my 99 nissan maxima what does that mean?

if you have a coil for each cylinder,or coil pack and one is going bad, the engine will only be running on 5 cylinders at times instead of 6.which will cause it to miss and cut out under a load( going up hill,fast take off,ect.) you will notice a change in the performance of the car...now if you only have one coil and its bad, the car will not start.... yz-maniac
