My 99 frontier is having a power loss/miss at low speed and sporadic.
Smells of gas. Codes read said Mass Air Sensor Replaced and cleared codes.
Check engine light again just say multi-cylinder failure. Runs out good at 60
and above. Any ideas?
Thanks

When was the last time it had a tune up, replaced all the spark plugs. a bad coil could give you problems across all cylinders, or a bad distrubitor cap.

Cap and rotor are a good idea, but most likely you have some plug wires shorting to ground. Try spraying them with some water to verify. Use Genuine Nissan wires, cap and rotor.
