Nissan Maxima Ignition Coils going bad?

Yep, it sounds like an ignition coil. I’ve got a 97 Maxima with 157k on it, and I’ve already had to replace 2 of them. It will eventually turn on the SES light. You can have the code read at that time, and it will tell you which one of the ignition coils is bad. Many times the coil for cyl #1 is the first one to go bad.
