NO DIY for ANY ignition coils!
 

why is there no diy for any ignition coils! i need a new ignition coil C but there are no diy's! could someone please write one up so i dont mess anything up. and diy for the other ignition coils too.

It's pretty easy if you have skinny hands. The hard part is reaching the 10mm bolt that holds it in place.

Remove wire clip
Remove the 10mm bolt
Wiggle loose/ straight pull out.
Reverse steps for new coil pack.

It's pretty much the same steps to changing the spark plugs but with out touching the spark plugs.

FYI I would download the maintenance repair manual PDF there's all your DYI info you need.

Speaking of the maintenance repair manual PDF... mine is missing all sorts of stuff. Seems like it just covers common maintenance things, like oil, wiper fluid, brake fluid, and coolant. Doesn't have any instructions on other critical things that take much longer before you need to replace them, such as the fuel system, starter, water pump, oil pump, and timing chain. For spark plugs, they just tell you what kind to get and not actually the step-by-step instructions needed to change it. Couldn't find anywhere in the 428 pages.

Sounds like you got the service manual not the repair manual.

This is a good video that outlines how to replace the coil pack:

I've pulled plugs without lifting the engine but after pulling my entire engine and seeing how easy it was I think if I need to access the coils or plugs going forward I will simply raise the engine. In the end I think it will be easier. I just rebuilt my engine and was planning on doing a compression test this weekend so I can see how well the rings are seating. I plan to do it the way the manual says to but if I find any shortcuts I will take note.

I just replaced coil #1 myself. It took less than an hour. It is not that hard, if you have small hands like me...


Good luck!
