Default My 350z misfires

My 350z says its missfire ( blinking engine light)

To fix this i have changed
-z1 coils on all 6 cylinders
-ngk sparkplugs on all 6 cylinders
- bosh knock sensor
-z1 bank sensors ( bank1 and 2)
-presure tested all cylinders.


it is still getting missfire when the engine gets resistance and i am out of ideas on what it can be.

Has anyone any suggestions to what it can be?

thanks in advance

I'm no expert on electrical, but maybe start by checking all of your ground-wire locations. Otherwise it may be an issue with the harness that you need to trace. You could always check the wiring for continuity with a multimeter (ECU and coil connector).

Make sure the coils are plugged in properly, easy to get the driver side bank mixed up.

I'm gonna say it again, make sure the coils on the left side are plugged into the right connector, it is possible to mix up and it will misfire.

I agree with Dark. I also had left bank misfire issue and it was the connectors. The last connector does not go to the last coil as it would seem. I made this mistake too. The last connector goes to coil 4

That should be correct then I believe, mine isn't exactly routed like stock but that sounds right.

I had a similar issue in the past and turned out that my injectors are not performing well
