Ignition coil replacement

So I'm taking a trip and figured I'd at least buy one new coil. Cost me $77. GAK!

Imagine buying all 6! and at list price even...$100 ea.

I got lucky and found 6 coils on ebay. I won them for around $130 shipped. Good luck.

I guess $130 is worth the risk of buying used coils that may not work...

There is a test procedure to check if your coil is bad. The resistance between the #1 and #2 pis on the coil (the bottom two pins) should be 1ohm +/- 10%, or .9-1.1 ohms at 77degrees (which is obviously at room temp and not just after driving around).

So I tested my coils and theyre all about the same, even the new one, so its harder than described to tell if a coil is bad or not. Its easier to drive the car and tell that the motor is misfiring instead

They were brand new. Still in the original acura packaging.

too bad u bought some, i got a set of six burnin a hole in a shelf in my garage
