The coil packs on my 00' Swift have been on there the life of the car (107000 miles) so I figure I should change them. Nothing wrong with them, I just like to fix things before they go poop. So I wandered down to Autozone...$97.36 for ONE of them, there are two on my car. Everywhere else had the same story to tell. Cheapest I found was $66.00 at Rock Auto. My bum hurts from all the pounding right now...that's freaking ridiculous!

If you want to be proactive buy one spare and keep it till one goes bad. Having one is 100% redundancy. They won't both fail at the same time.

I'm right there with you. I had to get one for my '98, and it was about the same price. Mine is a little different style, but still. Cheapest price I found was also at Rockauto. |

know what kills ignition coils ? excessive spark gap liquids heat in that order so keep your spark plugs gapped properly , never use Bosch platinum4 or 2 spark plugs (because the gaps are set way too high) in the dark with plain water spray the wires every once in a while if you see sparks replace the wires Edited by mwebb, May 25 2013, 12:29 AM.

I wouldn't bother, they don't go bad very often. Plus, your 13 year old factory coils are probably better than the brand new AutoZone crap. |
