Ignition Coil & Iridium Spark Plugs for Nissan Murano (2009-2023) 3.5L

Direct-Replacement Ignition Coil & Iridium Spark Plugs for 2009-2023 Nissan Murano (VQ35DE / Z51 & Z52)

Restores ignition system efficiency: Replaces degraded factory coils and worn spark plugs to eliminate misfires, stabilize idle, and restore consistent combustion across all six cylinders.

The Stock Murano Ignition Weakness

The transverse-mounted VQ35DE in the Nissan Murano creates severe heat soak conditions, particularly along the rear bank facing the firewall. Over time, this trapped thermal energy degrades the epoxy insulation within the OEM ignition coils, leading to internal short circuits and primary winding failure. Concurrently, factory spark plugs experience electrode erosion, increasing the spark gap. This widened gap forces the aging coils to generate higher voltages to bridge the arc, accelerating coil failure. The resulting weak spark causes intermittent misfires (often throwing P0300-series OBD2 codes), rough idling, decreased throttle response, and unburned fuel entering the exhaust, which can prematurely damage the catalytic converters.

The Engineering Solution

This ignition service kit corrects these thermal and electrical deficiencies by utilizing upgraded ignition coils combined with fine-wire iridium spark plugs. The replacement coils feature high-dielectric epoxy potting and reinforced housing materials to withstand the extreme underhood temperatures of the Z51 and Z52 chassis. Upgraded copper wire in the secondary windings ensures a more robust voltage output without increasing internal resistance. Paired with iridium spark plugs, which boast a significantly higher melting point than standard platinum or copper, the system maintains a precise, static gap over thousands of heat cycles. The fine-wire iridium electrode requires less voltage to fire, reducing the electrical load on the coils and ensuring a dense, concentrated spark for optimal combustion efficiency and restored power delivery.

Common Questions

Will this ignition coil and spark plug kit fit my 2016 Nissan Murano?
Yes, this kit is a direct replacement for the 2016 Nissan Murano equipped with the 3.5L VQ35DE V6 engine across S, SV, SL, and Platinum trims.

Does this fit both Z51 and Z52 generation Muranos?
Yes, both the Z51 (2009-2014) and Z52 (2015-2023) Nissan Murano 3.5L VQ35DE models use the exact same ignition coil and iridium spark plug specifications.

Will this kit fit the four-cylinder supercharged Murano Hybrid?
This kit is built specifically for the 3.5L VQ35DE V6 engine.

How does this kit address VQ35DE rear-bank heat soak?
The replacement coils use high-dielectric epoxy potting, reinforced housings, and upgraded secondary copper windings to handle high underhood temperatures, while the fine-wire iridium plugs require less firing voltage to reduce load on the coils.

Are any modifications required for installation?
Installation is a direct OEM replacement for the factory coils and spark plugs on all 6 cylinders with no modifications required.
