Sounds like one of your ignition coils are starting to fail, try and find a good price for all 6 on ebay

  • Check the ECCS wiring harness for a broken or damaged wire.
    1. If the ECCS harness has a broken or damaged wire that is causing the symptom(s) noted above, repair the harness and verify the incident is resolved.

    What is P1320 manufacturer code

    I found a thread on Maxima.org relating to the P1320 error code. Specifically, 2000-2001 Maxima's have had this problem. It seams as though everybody agrees that the error is caused by the ignition coils. We've never had ours changed, so I'm doing that. Nissan was going to charge me approx $600 (plus tax) for parts and another $180 for labor. The job take a whole 30 minutes to replace the 6 of them, and you can get the 6 ignition coils at O'reilly's for $325. I changed three last night and the car seems to be doing better. I'll replace the other 3 tonight and see what happens.

    Also, when testing the car, the car seems to "shake". I'm not sure if this is related to the P1320, but if we turn off the AC the "shaking" stops.

    Hope helps (remember rated this).

    P1320 service code on 2000 nissan maxima & #5 cylinder misfire or #6 cylinder misfire

    2000 maxima are famous for having bad coils - those cost about $350 if you dealer isn't trying to rip you off (otherwise they will charge $600). I also read you can get an aftermarket coil at Autozone.

    Engine diagnostic code P1320, 2000 nissan maxima can you please let me know what sort of problem or repair this code represents.

    P1320 is the Ignition Signal Primary. There is a technical bulletin for this code for this vehicle. To remedy this issue, you will need to replace all 6 ignition coils. I suggest that you purchase them from a Nissan dealer to make sure you get the right ones.
