The proper way to fix this misfire code is to replace the [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-nissan/) and change out the coils.
I'd highly recommend getting the Nissan OEM coils not aftermarket.
For the spark plugs get the NGK brand.
You want to do this job once and do it right.
prolong misfiring can lead to other engine issues.

Yes, you can.
80% of the time is the coil and 20% is the spark plugs.

Don't drive the car while misfiring. It will damage the catalytic converter raw fuel is going to be dump through the exhaust.
The converter is going to cost you lot more money.
