  • In this video i replace the spark plugs and a coil pack in my V6 VE Commodore which was misfiring in cylinder 4. I scanned for DTC's and it came up with code P0304 which is cylinder 4 misfire.
    Items Required:
    -Ratchet and sockets
    -Torque Wrench
    -Spark plug socket 16mm
    -Socket extension
    -New platinum spark plugs
    -New upper inlet plenum gasket

    Thanks mate not a bad job. My car was on limp mode for the last 4 months. struggled to accelerate, it would sputter while accelerating, couldn't driv3 properly on a motorway.. it was so annoying but gave this a crack and my car drives amazingly now ❤

    My Vz commodore working fine one day parked in garage next day started to miss like crazy. Took to local mechanic who located the problem, replaced plugs and coil packs and gasket.$650 aus dollars. Could not understand why until I saw your video
    and easy understanding of what was done, Great work thanks for the education keep up the info for dummies like me ...

      peter linden about to pay $560 myself lol, but I did watch this video first. I’m just not brave enough to take all those things off and put it back together. I used to have a small Pulsar on which I replaced the spark plugs heaps of times as the access was exposed.

      @@MufudziGambiza Hey man, the old man had one for 10 years with no issues, towed weekly and a fair bit of off-road and loved it. I was loving mine (09 d40 ST-X) until a couple of plastic pieces in the cooling system completely gave way about 12 months apart and dumped my coolant, which ended up resulting in the cracked head... if you get one, the first thingg I'd do is replace the plastic T-piece that goes into your heater core with a brass equivalent, and then upgrade the plastic elbow that sits right next to the t-piece (and also goes into heater core), so that you don't have the same issue. Apparently it's quite common. That and try make sure you get a model with the dual link timing chain if you plan on towing. All in all though has been a pretty good car, but as Nissan do, they cheap out where they can which can end up leading to big problems.

    Great video Mufudzi! I have a question. I have a 2009 Holden VE 3.6L V6. I’ve been been having a cylinder misfire issue for quite some time. While driving , the car starts stalling and also with a vibration. Once the engine is stopped and restarted , it goes away. This issue occurs randomly. I have replaced plugs and coils but the issue remains. Dealer thinks it may be electrical. Check engine light comes up with an alarm and the error codes show all 6 cylinders misfiring which is quite unusual. Appreciate if you could share your thoughts on what might be the issue ?
