Ignition Coil Problem or not?

Have driven my Q45 for 6 years without any problems. Last January, it started misfiring while idling in gear. I have had it to 3 different shops and replaced plugs with iridium plugs and a couple of ignition coils #4 & 2. I am still having the same problem after all of this work.

We bought this car after selling our 1993 Q45... (tired of the repair bills) Although not as "Sporty" as the '93 it is much more plush in comfort and ride. It still scoots when you floor it but because of the softer ride it just dosn't seem as fast. (it actually is real close) The great thing about th '97 on up is they seem to be much more reliable. except for oil changes we have had to do nothing..For what we paid ($16,500) we could have got a new Civic but I think the ride/comfort is just a little nicer with the Q.. Overall a great Car

I bought my 97 Q45 in near perfect condition from a Cadillac dealership. It needed an alignment and two new exhaust tips. The dealership replaced a pulley and one of the belts. the ride is extremely comfortable, and the power is exhilirating! Mechanically, the car has performs soundly. For a car that is 7 years old, the interior has held up incredibly well. All of the buttons, knobs, etc. are still in perfect condition. All of the creature features perform admirably, except for the driver's seat lumbar control. TIP: Nissan can perform the regular maintenance on Infiniti cars/trucks...usually for less.

The Best Car I have ever Owned!

I've owned this 1997 Q45t for over 10 years and except for normal wear items, tires, brakes, etc. it has not cost me a think to maintain. I just had it at the Dealership to have one of the Exhaust System shields removed because it had come loose, no charge and the service manager said they had customers with the 1997 Q45 with 300,000 miles on them. I have 130,000 and it still drives like new. My other cars for 40 years have always been Corvettes, but I enjoy driving my Q45t. When I bring my Q45t in for service I always get a free loaner, a new G37 which is also fun to drive, but I'm always happy to get my Q back.

Lexus stole my review

I can't believe it, shortly after writing a previous review of my Q45, Lexus came out with a TV ad about a family in their living room cruising at high speed. Talk about stealing ideas.
