I just recently found what was possibly causing my car to idle funny. My viper 791 was connected to my coil pack which could have been causing a short. When I disconnected/cut the wire and tapped it back with electrical tape it corrected the problem some but still idles up and down when it get colder outside, my iac valve was changed at 10k miles ago. Are the coil packs plug and play...ie will I replace all six or is it one by one?

 

no need to replace in u dont have a check engine light on. check for any vacuum leaks bc that will cause the car to idle funny.

 

Not necessarily true... the coil packs on our cars are very iffy. They won't throw a code, but can certainly mess with the car. I remember I replaced all 6 coil packs and spark plugs, and the car ran noticeably better.

 

Was it plug and play? How much did it cost?

 

New from the dealer their a little pricey. Plug and play yes, 1 bolt, 1 plug, easy. From what I hear you can find them at like a NAPA auto store type place for less money than the dealer. Or you can go here too: www.oemacuraparts.com

 

Does $650.00 seem like too much to replace two coil packs? This is quote from a dealer.

 

^LOOOOL!!!

I have 5 extra coil packs. I can ship them to you for $15 each, and I'll even make you a video DIY of how to replace them. It would take you ~7 minutes to replace BOTH.

Holy fuckin' shit, $650!!!

 

which two? the one in the back are a pita. $650 lmfao, never go to that dealer again

 

Ignition coil: 30520-P8E-A01

Around $40/each new + shipping

Rears are a pain the first time around, but much easier after you've taken them out a time or two.

 

Run as fast as you can from that dealer and never go back.

 

Rear is NOT difficult necessarily. Coil from cylinder 1 is kind of a pain (passenger rear), but the other two in the rear are pretty easy.

Obviously the coils in the front are like changing a light bulb.

Still don't understand how a dealer justifies 4 hours of labor for 2 coil packs...
