Kicks Engine Running Rough
Summary of the thread
A 2023 Nissan Kicks is experiencing rough engine performance, stalling at idle, and jerking during acceleration, with the check engine light on. The issue may be due to a defective ignition coil pack, causing misfires and engine hesitation. It is suggested to test the coil packs using a multimeter or consult a mechanic for a professional diagnosis to address potential electrical complications.

Thanks for the quick response! I haven't specifically checked the coil packs themselves. How would I go about testing them to see if that's the problem?

Testing coil packs usually involves using a multimeter to check for resistance, or swapping them around to see if the misfire follows the coil. However, based on your description, a faulty cable or plug connection could also be the root cause. Given the potential for electrical complications, I suggest taking it to a qualified workshop for diagnosis. It cost me around 95€ to get it sorted including parts and labor.

Okay, I appreciate the advice! I'll take it to a local mechanic to have the ignition coils checked and the cable or plug connections. Hopefully, it's a simple fix. Thanks again for your help!

That sounds frustrating. I've experienced something similar with my Kicks. The symptoms you describe point towards an ignition issue, possibly a defective coil pack. Have you had the chance to check the coil packs? A failing coil pack can cause misfires, leading to a rough idle, stalling, and the check engine light illuminating. Engine hesitation is another common symptom.
