Does the nissan maxima se limited edition have a timing belt or timing chain? Also would replacing an ignition coil reduce engine noise?

Hi there,

Your car has a timing belt, this should be serviced at 100,000Km intervals it is an interference engine so valve damage will occur if the belt fails, the coil replacement won't have any effect on engine noise as it is only the item that generates the ignition spark.

These engines had timing belts and timing chains.
