Well, to start with, there are a whole lot of things (including a bad fuel pump) that can cause a cylinder misfire. A misfrire code does not mean that you automatically start replacing ignition coils.
The fuel pump is not supposed to have power to it any time the ignition switch is on. It will only have power for about 2 seconds to "prime" the injectors, then it will remain off until the engine starts and gets over 500 RPM.
Did you test any of the ignition coils to see if they were in working condition before you replaced them?
Did you test the ECU relay to see if it was functioning properly before you replaced it?
If the mechanic was able to scan the ECU and get codes ot of it, the ecu relay HAD TO be working at the time...WHY did you replace it?
ECU failures are extremely rare - especially on Nissans. However, poking around in the engine control circuits without knowing what you are poking on is a
REAL GOOD way to GET an ECU failure!
