Spark Plug Coil

Have any of you had the spark plug coil replaced? How much would that cost to get fixed?

Unless the bad coil is #5 (I think that's the number) which is closest to
the driver, you can swap the coils yourself...even #5 can be done, but, it's
kinda a P.I.T.A. to get too.

The part itself is pricey!!! but, the process to swap it is easy.
I've replaced some of my own...if you know what coil it is, the whole
process should take about 15 minutes.

good luck!

$320!!! RIP OFF!!!

the part itself is about $100+ (give or take)
the labour involved is two screws and some elbow grease...
VERY easy to swap the #1 coil!!!

you can pay it, but, you can get tips from folks here and do it
for free!!! I'm serious -- it's not that hard!!! If you can
turn a screwdriver (or ratchet set) you can change the coil.

good luck!

The part can be gotten from a dealer for about $80-90.
Definitely something you can do yourself.

30 minutes at the most if it's your first time at it.
