Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with my 2018 Nissan Fuga with a Gasoline engine. Lately, it's been acting up with black smoke coming out from the exhaust when I accelerate along with the check engine light being always on. There's a noticeable loss of engine power and it's pretty unsteady. It also jerks when I hit the gas, won't start up sometimes and has pretty poor fuel economy. It even stalls and shakes while idling. I suspect that there might be something wrong with the ignition coil, possibly a misfire or defect. Has anyone experiences something similar with their car? I'm curious to know how you managed to solve the problem with your workshop. Also, any additional insight on what might be causing these issues and how to troubleshoot them would be super helpful. Looking forward to your suggestions and experiences. Cheers!

Hey there, I can feel your pain! Had a similar issue on my 2016 Nissan Skyline, quite similar to your Fuga. Let me share my experience, although I must confess I'm not a car expert, just got some experience here and there. Took it to the local shop, and they found out the cable connection to the ignition coil was defective. I guess that was the culprit behind the black smoke and all that jazz. Cost me a tidy sum, around 365 Euro, to nip it in the bud. Have you checked your vehicle's ignition coil? That could be the root of the problem. It'd be helpful if you could share more about your vehicle, like its mileage, when was it last serviced, etc. That could give a better picture of what's going down. Hang in there!

Hi there, Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll certainly check out the ignition coil cable connection as you've suggested. To provide you with more information on my vehicle, my Fuga has a mileage of 78785 KM. The latest service was actually just a little while ago. Despite the regular upkeep, these unsettling issues sprung up recently. I'll take your advice and be sure to take it to the local shop soon. Hoping to resolve this ASAP. Thanks again!

Hey, Glad I could provide some insight! Based on your car's mileage and the fact it was serviced fairly recently, it's quite likely there could indeed be an issue with the ignition coil connection, as that seems in line with the symptoms you're experiencing. I'd definitely suggest getting this checked out at your local garage. Be sure to ask them to also look over the rest of the ignition system just in case there might be other related problems they can spot. Remember, dealing with such issues sooner rather than later can save you a bit of time and money down the road. Fingers crossed it all works out fine! Let me know how it goes. Cheers!

Hey, Absolutely, I completely agree on getting these things sorted sooner rather than later. I'll definitely ask them to do a thorough check of the entire ignition system along with the coil. Let's see how it unfolds. Will keep you posted on the outcome. Much appreciated for the advice and support. Cheers!
