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?

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.
