Let’s start with the easy stuff. When was the last time the plugs and wires were replaced? Does it do it more often when the weather is damp? How many miles on your Infiniti?

Is it an automatic transmission? If so has it ever been serviced? (fluid changed and filter cleaned)? When was the last time the air and fuel filters were replaced?
