If the plugs are indeed seized, attempting to remove them can strip out the threads in the head(s). Obviously if you need to replace the plugs they will need to come out. If the threads strip out, you will need to remove the affected head and have helicoil or keensert inserts put in to repair the threads. As a side note, always use antiseize compound on the spark plug threads when replacing the plugs on vehicles equipped with aluminum heads.

My mechanic has just replaced all my spark plugs on my 2003 Maximasi, now he is telling me that i need to replace all 6 coils, is this nescary ?Regards Terry

get a new mechanic who knows what he is doing
plugs for ECM controlled engines very seldom need changing ( most will last for 5 years or platinum plugs will last a life time )
--- nissan , toyota , mitsubishi and other cars with v 6 engines where it is almost impossible to replace the rear plugs all use platinum plugs for those plugs as they are never replaced --
if you need 6 coil packs then the engine would not be running
best find an accredited service shop with experience on your vehicle , have the codes read and have the problem fixed properly
with fault code storage in the ECM, repair by replacement is not an option but a total waste of money

The back three spark plugs on the V6 are difficult to reach without a socket extension. if part of the engine is hindering you from taking out back plugs. then remove the part thats in the way. then replce when done. have a good day !!

I just had a tune up done on my 2003 kia sedona. I had everything minus the spark plug wires, because the mechanic said they looked fine. since i did replce the s[ark plugs should i also do the wires or...

If everything is running fine, I would think you could wait. It is rather involed to replace them. With all that is involved with replacing the back plugs, if I was the mechanic, I would have highly suggested replacing them at that time.

I recently had a fuel pump replaced on my murano in Nevada. While I was fueling the vehicle in Wolcott IA, I noticed fuel leaking from the bottom of the vehicle. I moved the car to tha parkking area and...

Yes it could be true if the mechanic needed an helping hand and felt he should call on another mechanic specialised in a different area from his to handle it.

1. Fuel pump issues are handled basically by an auto-electrician.

2. Tank related issues are handled by a mechanic or panel beater.

Consider he had told you the truth.

Cheers and rate this.

Every time it rains, and my truck sits in the rain for an extended period of time, when I go to drive somewhere, a few minutes down the road the truck starts to stutter and shake, or **** either when I'm...

I had a 93 Nissan that had a similar intermittent problem running when wet, humid or after sitting. Usually it would start fine and run well most of the time, but stutter, shake or die. It sometimes had low power and got terrible highway mileage even though it was a 4 cyl. 5 spd. When it was dry and not humid, it ran like it was new. I thought it was the ignition wires and changed them with no results. 2 Nissan dealers said everything was fine--it never acted up when they had it. I found a web site that had Nissan technical service bulletins and found one that described the problem--there's a connector in the wiring that needs replacing. It's wrapped in black tape and is a crimp connection. Dealers told me that couldn't be the problem (it was still under warranty), so I took the truck and bulletin to a non-Nissan mechanic. Within an hour he found the connection, replaced it, and the truck ran perfect after that. Sorry but I don't have the technical service bulletin anymore. I may have found it under a different year . .Good luck.
