I have a 1995 infiniti I30/nissan maxima with a vq30de engine. Well the car started to have a intermittent misfire. No CEL (check engine light) would come when this happens. It only happens when the car is warmed up and driving for a while.I have changed my spark plugs but that didnt do the trick. When the car does misfire I check the diagnose mode on the ecu and it flashes a 0201 code - engine circuit code. But doesnt give me the exact cylinder. Could this be a faulty coil plug?
