Default HELP 03’ 350z

Hi everyone, I’m new here. So I have a 03’ 350z and having some problems with the engine. It takes a while for the car to start and while I’m driving, the rpm meter shakes and it misfires. Any solutions or answers to this?

go get codes read first.... more than likely there wont be any. if you do end up replacing them, use oem. cheaper ones have been known to cause issues

In addition to what travlee mentions, I would say it could be a faulty coil pack. That would have the symptoms you describe. It is easy to check a coil pack.

Yes... Ignition Coils (i.e., "Coil Pack")… Painterguy39 knows

EDIT: And, it is very easy to test your ignition coils. Google "test Coil Pack" to discover how to do this.
