What causes Ignition Coil failure?
Coils fail for a variety of reasons including heat, vibration, or issues on the secondary side of the ignition system. Worn secondary ignition components such as spark plugs or wires can cause a coil work harder, require more voltage, and therefore significantly reduce the operating life of the coil.

What causes the p1320 sensor to be set?
Factors like abnormal electrical resistances in wiring, crankshaft position sensor, ignition coil power transistors, or even the ignition coil itself can cause code P1320 to set, or contribute to its setting, which will cause a warning light to be illuminated. Where is the P1320 sensor located?
What is the Erra code for Nissan i30?
NOTE: It is very common for code P1320 to be accompanied by codes P0335, P0340, P1335, and/or P1336. If these codes are present, they must be resolved first, and in the above order to avoid a misdiagnosis and the unnecessary replacement of parts and components. I need help with an erra code P1320 on 1999 I30.
