Sir.....a year ago, on my 09 Nissan Versa, the #3 cylinder went out. Mechanics charged me over $500 to replace that single coil, change out all the spark plugs & gasket. Over a week ago, my car was starting to "cough" while I was stopped...and also during initial acceleration........O'Reillys Auto Parts said, after running the codes, the #4 cylinder was misfiring..... I thought...."am I going to have to pay this much again????"....came across your video. Paid $150 for 3 new coils (after military discount & decided to replace the #1 & 2 while I was at it)....took about 3 hours....(and 5 beers)....my Versa runs so much better! Thank you so much for posting this, you saved me so much $$$$$......
Four new plugs, plus an intake manifold gasket, plus manifold and carb cleaning, oil change and a horn wiring fix for just under $300. The high price would more than likely be at a chain auto repair and not a local guy.
I know this is an old video but it was super helpful to me last week when doing this to my wife's 2010 versa when Firestone said it was 1 misfire because of a bad coil pack and they recommended replacing all 4 coils packs and all 4 spark plugs at the same time and told me it'd be $1600. I bought the parts online for $200+tax and shipping and I replaced them myself in about 3hrs.
The Versa is a pain in the ass to work on. The only things that are easy are the filter swaps and the coolant drain and refill. Other than that the car is super difficult to work for most things.
Yep. A video from 5 years ago helped me out tremendously. Throttle Body and Intake was a pain, just as it was for you. But, I could not have done this on my 2010 Versa without you. Thanks.
I saw few videos about same issue , but yours was the best of them, I agree with you 100% , for the stupid designe from Nissan , normally changing the coil & spark plugs take 20-30 min max in 4 cylinders car
Thanks to your video I did the spack plugs and ignition coils on mine im no mechanic or know anything about it took me 2 hours and car is running smooth
I've got a 2012 Nissan Versa 1.8L hatchback and I'm about to tackle the plugs and wire caps. Thank you so much for posting this and editing it and everything you did. You've helped me to understand what's going to be needed to get this done. Just wanted to thank you. Cheers mate.
Cost me 663 for my shop to do em i didnt have tools n junk to do it myself but it looks annoying asf compared to my 05 Saab 93 Aero....just pull off the cover, a plate and plugs right there in a row took 20mins
seems like even the simplest tasks you need to disassemble the engine to get a things ..... i'm sure it's done by design so dealerships can charge more time for labor. Looks like we need to watch more of Dan's videos so we become expert mechanics !
The Versa's MR18 engine was designed in partnership with Renault and is used in Renaults, as well. That's probably why it has such a goofy configuration. I never liked Renaults.
You hit it right in the head! $500 paid at Sears to replace my #4 spark coil on my Versa. I could have done it, but a lack of tool organization and a bit of fear of messing up the airflow system got me to hand the job over to a mechanic that did it in 30 to 45 mins. If the other coils mess up, I'll dig in and replace them all and the plugs. Good video though. I'll save it. Overall, the Versa has been great. It's a 2010 and I've driven all over the country, racking up 120k miles. From Miami to Toronto about 5 times without a single problem. This is it's first.
I only replaced #3 coil cause I wanted to save some money. Two months later misfire again and it was #4. This time I already master removing the intake manifold and didn't hesitate replacing the spark plugs and the rest of the old coils. Lesson learned., don't save money haha. My car now is running fine.
Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful. I'm having the same problem with my 2010 Nissan Versa. I'm going to attempt to change the coils myself. Wish me luck.
Yes. This cost me $423 for changing those. Lol. I bought my car @ 40k miles. I didn’t change the spark plugs and coils till 195k miles! 😮 I had the same symptom- it was shaking like crazy. My evap valve still needs to be changed.
@@applesauce1680 I was quoted $270 for just labor on mine... That's the expensive part. Plus having to buy an intake manifold gasket put me back by an additional $30 ($60 if provided by the shop) Sure, it's not a huge price overall, but just unnecessarily expensive due to the manifold being in the way and eating up labor and additional parts
hi.. love this vid. im having the same problem on my nissan versa,/livina. i hope i can fix it following your procedures.. thanks to the designer of this manifold 😂
Thanks man! I'm actually planning to change my wife's Juke's (HR16DE) spark plugs. The dealership says they gotta change the intake manifold gasket to do it (60 USD). Looks like if I do it myself I dont have to..... hmmm.. I didnt see any gaskets from your video (I think the Vesra has the HR15DE) . Looks like I'm gonna change out the coils too. Thanks again
This video barely scratches the surface... One thoughtfully-produced video with tips and a step-by-step is here: th-cam.com/video/breoB5zC-e8/w-d-xo.html Doing the gaskets is just a good idea because of the labor time and it's better than having a gasket failure sooner because you didn't replace it when you had it open. Other things you can do at the same time include cleaning the throttle body (I think there's a gasket there too), changing the PCV valve (boy, that's a cheap fix that can make a big difference), draining/refilling the coolant, changing the thermostat, cleaning the intake manifold (along with a new gasket), cleaning the air box, replacing the air filter and cleaning the MAS (mass airflow sensor).
LOL This guy is my doppelganger in the garage!! I just did my 2011Nissan Versa plugs and went through all that BS just for the plugs while having my beer!! Along with all the swearing and cussing because no job is complete without that!! Next is the trans issues so maybe the fluid and filters require changing ?? No problems shifting. But when I come to a stop strange shit starts happening. Wish me luck folks
Love this video I would love to work on cr and have sis small jobs broke my ankle in 2018 trying to get back right!!! Sweet video Nissan yeah different size bolts they funny
............. And on next week's episode of "wrenching with Dan" !!! . Nice work Dan , that could of turned into a real can of worms 10/10 for patience and persistence , with little room to work. 👍👍👍
When I pulled the beauty cover off and saw the intake over the coils I was just thinking really? Who designed that bullshit? Lol. Although it still was pretty easy, just took 4x longer.
Man that sucker was a son of a you-know-what! That looks like three times the work of working on a Honda Fit. I bet Nissan would have charged $770 for that job......lol I went to the parts store and asked can I get a gas cap for my Nissan? The manager said sounds like a fair trade......😄😊
@@normalguysupercar My favorite car joke is. What do you call a Volkswagen bus at the top of a hill? A miracle. what do you call 2 Volkswagen buses at the top of the hill a mirage........lol What's your all-time favorite car joke?
Would be a good idea to replace valve cover gasket and spk plug sealing ring because when they leak they will ruin the new coils. Also the pcv valve is just below in front. Repl it now cause you cant remove it with with intake on. Clean the throttle body while its off unplug it so it does set a code. Be gentle.
Hey man. The only thing I need to do is replace the ignition coil in my versas cylinder 4. Do I NEED to take off the intake manifold to do that? Or can I just simply unscrew that 10mm to access it
@@normalguysupercar I ask because cylinder 4 is isolated, unlike 1-3 which are underneath the intake manifold. There are two plugs and a 10mm socket. Once I get those off, Its a pretty straight shot from there right?
Was the cap that broke the plug that was not firing correctly? Probably a dumb question but just curious? Im not the most mechanically inclined regarding cars or any engine with valves for that matter..
Pretty wild; I hope if I have to replace the coils, on my 2013 versa s, I can do it myself. I had a 6 cylinder Camry that had only 3 coils. One coil went - up and left me with a rough ride to the shop.
You re my Hero ...Dan ! Well done buddy poor design from nissan usually when you take off that plastic cover part you get access to most of everything. I got scared when that coil broke off that look to be dry rubber/plastic, well done SoulDave
I'm thinking of i should do this on mine this weekend. Just started having what I believe is a misfire. I will confirm with code reader but I'm assuming it's this same exact problem. Ugh thank you Nissan
My cousin has a 2012 hatchback with 110k+ miles and it's due for a drum brake change and spark plugs. I can do the brakes easy enough, but the spark plugs look like a PITA. I watched your video and 1A Auto's video on these Versas.
Just completed all 4 of mine as one was bad and watching the video figured might as well do them all with how silly it is designed. Put it all back together and still throwing the cylinder 2 misfire… what’s the chances of a faulty new part on the exact same cylinder… guessing it’s more internal than the coil as the code leads one to believe
@@normalguysupercar Yep. They may be but they are not in any way favourites of most diligent electicians who steer away from them particularly in certain nissan vehicles such as the 300 z and 370 Z family where they can cause bad running. If you are doing such a good job like you did you should be rewarding yourself with better critical components particularly electical bits.
Fellow texan doin coils and plugs on wifes cube as we speak ... After further examination of your video go back and check out that leaking PCV vent hose looks like someone forgot to slide the hose clamp down to secure it ... Thus bein the reason that oil was saturated all over valve cover keep on keepin on brother ....
What number tools did you use for the screws. Perhaps I am not wording it correctly but I don't believe I have all the tools and I think Autozone will let me rent the tools for free. Thank you in advance!
Good day am just watching your video how to remove the Manifold off my Nissan Serena 07 I see u using Diagnostic machine I want to know which brand is that Cause I want to get one. I buy one before but it didn’t work on my car so I want to get nether one am asking if u could give me the details on that one you got
Great video! I had misfire 1 issue(randomly, not a constant misfire) and changed the coil pack and spark plugs. Unfortunately still have misfire once in a while and turns on the engine code. When I am waiting on red light and car on drive, it hesitates to kick to the front side once every 8-10 seconds. My mechanic did not able to find anything since it is not constant. Don’t know what to do!
With the Versa, the blue coolant light is just letting you know your engine is cold and needs to warm up, the manual tells you to not drive over 40MPH until that light is off.
Nice troubleshooting! What do you use for a gap tool? I have the silver coin thing, but I've heard they aren't very accurate, at least less so than other gap tools...
Do you by chance know how to reset the oil service light? I did an oil change on a friend's car, he lost the manual a we don't know how to reset the service light. Thank you
What kind of ODB reader do you use? Do you recommend it or something else? How many miles on that car? Should you have changed the intake manifold gasket and/or throttle body gasket? I have a 2014 Versa with 94,000 miles and I'm getting a P0301 code. I picked up some plugs but coils were over 100.00 each and I didn't want to buy 4 if I might only need 1. Another TH-cam video regarding P0301 error codes showed pitting due to arcing at the base of the coil where it meets the spark plug so I'll look for that. Anyway, thanks for the helpful and entertaining video! Cheers!
Gaskets are made on to the manifold. They self form. As far as the throttle body, not unless you decided to shit on your computer just for the fuck of sakes.
@@normalguysupercar well auto zone has a 4 pack of duralast for 198.00 and advanced has them for like 69 a piece.so the 4 pack seems the better deal.just cautious of using something other than what came factory wnen it comes to these things
Tried replacing my plugs the other day. Got all the stuff I needed to unhook and unplug but 1 screw stripped as I tried to loosen it. I held the tool on with my hand to make sure it was on but it stripped. Dealer I think over torqued it the last time. Ugh
I have 2009 versa, I changed my spark plugs and coils but i still have vibration when i put to Neautral Gear, the vibration i feel it on the Engine and my Steering wheel. but when i drive it goes away. What could it be?
I have a question why Do I keep getting motor oil in my spark plugs. I just got a new gasket and its new so I dont know why im still getting oil on the plugs any ideas on what it could be?
Any advice for installing the intake manifold? I cant get it to sit flat on the heads and align with the top right bolt that goes under the throttle body, right now it's one or the other that's aligned. Very strange and maybe I'm overthinking this step
Bought Basic OBD Reader and it doesn't throw any errors , went to mechanic they say still issue with ignition coil. Got brand new ignition coil and still they say ignition coil issue
Thanks for the video was watching it from erbil city. But Crazy with the cost i didn't know it could be that much. Anyway i got the same issue ama fix it myself.
another thing could cause a miss fire is a bad rubber hose or crack in the plastic intake if your remove the intake put white grease on the intake gasket and on the throttle body gasket or o ring so it don't suck air also look for corrosion on the coil will cause miss fire or the coil or plug can be bad
Hi bro please get back I have a nissan tida when I accelerate to overtake above 3500 RPM The RPM just dies and it needs a car restart to get back to normal however if I don't press the accelerator peddle to hard which we normally do to pick it up nothing ever goes dead. The issue happens at all speeds even highest top speed or at startup speed too Help me please what's the issue?

Im about to do mine. Plugs and coils. Was told to replace the manifold gasket when I'm doing it. All the videos I've seen no one does that. Any idea?
It's not a bad idea to replace the gasket
You should replace these gaskets. Do your valve cover gaskets and replace your PCV as well. I just did my NV200 and the rubber was completely dry.
You actually have Renault to thank instead of Nissan.
Now that doesn't surprise me one bit.
With the Versa, the blue coolant light is just letting you know your engine is cold and needs to warm up, the manual tells you to not drive over 40MPH until that light is off.
Ah yes
You are so not a professional but very entertaining LOL love you video
How did the aftermarket coils hold up? Usually its OEM or nothing
I don't know, she sold the car after a few years
Kitchen came out beautiful. Did you add on the nook?
We gutted the entire thing. I will be making a video of that soon. 😎
Nice troubleshooting! What do you use for a gap tool? I have the silver coin thing, but I've heard they aren't very accurate, at least less so than other gap tools...
I use one of these: amzn.to/2CmpwdP
Lol you couldn't wait to get away from that baby!🤣🤣🤣
Aww, that's only partly true.
Do you by chance know how to reset the oil service light? I did an oil change on a friend's car, he lost the manual a we don't know how to reset the service light. Thank you
Not off the top of my head. You can use a computer like a launch x431
@@normalguysupercar thank you
Which one is cylinder 3? If Im looking from the front of the car is #3 the 3rd from the left or 3rd from the right?
I don't remember
Did you have to change the ignition coils for all 4 cylinders or just for cylinder 4
Just 4.
What kind of ODB reader do you use? Do you recommend it or something else? How many miles on that car? Should you have changed the intake manifold gasket and/or throttle body gasket? I have a 2014 Versa with 94,000 miles and I'm getting a P0301 code. I picked up some plugs but coils were over 100.00 each and I didn't want to buy 4 if I might only need 1. Another TH-cam video regarding P0301 error codes showed pitting due to arcing at the base of the coil where it meets the spark plug so I'll look for that. Anyway, thanks for the helpful and entertaining video! Cheers!
It's just a simple bluetooth adapter that connects to my phone. amzn.to/2W06Bzm
Thank you for the video that helps me out I hope this will be good for me but I'll do the same thing
You bet
Did you replace any gaskets? Also does the The throttle body have to be reprogrammed ? thanks in advance and great video man.
Just subscribed!
No and only if you pull the battery
@@normalguysupercar sweet thank man . Appreciate the fast reply .
Gaskets are made on to the manifold. They self form. As far as the throttle body, not unless you decided to shit on your computer just for the fuck of sakes.
Question , what kind of obd reader are you using ? What’s the name of the brand ?
Here it is: amzn.to/2RRsUSY
hey man,great video.can you tell me what brand of sensors that you used is it safe to use a diffrent brand other than what was in it prior?
I don't recall which brand they were, but I bought them at advanced auto.
@@normalguysupercar well auto zone has a 4 pack of duralast for 198.00 and advanced has them for like 69 a piece.so the 4 pack seems the better deal.just cautious of using something other than what came factory wnen it comes to these things
Tried replacing my plugs the other day. Got all the stuff I needed to unhook and unplug but 1 screw stripped as I tried to loosen it. I held the tool on with my hand to make sure it was on but it stripped. Dealer I think over torqued it the last time. Ugh
Most likely. Ugh
Which brand of parts did you use?.thank you
I don't recall this was years ago
Why year is this Versa? Great job on the fix
I can't remember, this was filmed a few years ago
I have 2009 versa, I changed my spark plugs and coils but i still have vibration when i put to Neautral Gear, the vibration i feel it on the Engine and my Steering wheel. but when i drive it goes away.
What could it be?
Check your engine mount
You're awesome. Like the video, helpful too.
Thank you! :)
What diagnostic tool were you using?
I'm gonna try drinking some beer before working on the versa hopefully I get it fixed.
It'll help numb the pain. LOL!
. I've done a vid on this too and it's such a pain. You did a great job by the way.
Thank you and yes, it's a PITA.
do you need to replace the intake manifold gasket ?
Sometimes
I have a question why Do I keep getting motor oil in my spark plugs. I just got a new gasket and its new so I dont know why im still getting oil on the plugs any ideas on what it could be?
Eek that's possibly a leaking valve cover gasket or bad seal on the spark plug
Great 👍 teaching both mechanical (fixing Machine)and humanitarian (helping humans ), you all stay Blessed wishing health/happiness.
BaBa G
Thank you
I love it when a plan pulls through! Great job Dan!
Well, the plan got detoured when I pulled the cover and saw I had to remove the intake... But, it still came through... :)
Any advice for installing the intake manifold? I cant get it to sit flat on the heads and align with the top right bolt that goes under the throttle body, right now it's one or the other that's aligned. Very strange and maybe I'm overthinking this step
Hmm I didn't have any trouble with that part
All the coil packs went out? Dayummm! Do you mind if I ask what you paid for them?
I don't remember, this was years ago
That cracked coil was the real issue. Just fixed an altima with that same issue.
Ah fun
Please tell me you got an extension to the no complaints about the Ferrari time for doing this?
No I just did this one, I figured the 458 deal was good enough not to push it. Lol.
Hi, the hoses that are attached to the throttle body are missing on my versa, where to the go and what is function
I'm not sure this was years ago
@@normalguysupercar thanks for reply, it seems they are water hoses, to warm the throttle on winter, previous owner bypassed.
how did you find out on your smartphone about the misfire ? what app you are using and do I need some hardware to check that? Please advise. Thanks
I used an obd diagnostic tool that connects to my phone
@@normalguysupercar can you please share the photo and connection cables and application that needs to be installed? Thanks
@@muhammadtaha1362 www.normalguysupercar.com/tools/
@@normalguysupercar Thanks , Much appreciated.
Bought Basic OBD Reader and it doesn't throw any errors , went to mechanic they say still issue with ignition coil. Got brand new ignition coil and still they say ignition coil issue
I love this guy. "what the shit" 😅 (I drive a 2011 Nissan versa & I will NEVER buy another one.) Looks like I'm hiring help for my spark plugs
Lol thanks
Awesome work. what app are you using?
amzn.to/2Omamv4
Thanks for the video was watching it from erbil city. But Crazy with the cost i didn't know it could be that much. Anyway i got the same issue ama fix it myself.
Great to hear!
Sir Im going through this right now can you please let me know how much you were charged?
What kind of obd2 scanner is this?
Thats why i love hondas and toyota the others are just the others 😂😂😂😂
Yup
another thing could cause a miss fire is a bad rubber hose or crack in the plastic intake if your remove the intake put white grease on the intake gasket and on the throttle body gasket or o ring so it don't suck air also look for corrosion on the coil will cause miss fire or the coil or plug can be bad
Good to know
What torque for intake manifold?
I don't know
Nice!! Is that the actual order for removal or could you do it vice "Versa"? More beer!!
Aww man that was just bad.
Where did you get the coils from ?
Hi bro please get back I have a nissan tida when I accelerate to overtake above 3500 RPM The RPM just dies and it needs a car restart to get back to normal however if I don't press the accelerator peddle to hard which we normally do to pick it up nothing ever goes dead.
The issue happens at all speeds even highest top speed or at startup speed too
Help me please what's the issue?
