First time posting here. I’m changing all 6 ignition coils in my 08 Acura TL 3.2 when i noticed the coils are different so the screw doesn’t fit with the new ones. In the attachment, you can see that the old coil has an indentation so that the screw fits on. In the new one, the screw won’t even grab onto the bolt.
Anyone else seen this problem before? Do I need to get a longer bolt or what’s the solution here? Let me know if you need more info. Thanks



Left (old ignition coil) and right (new one).

return those crap and get proper denso replacements on rockauto instead

 

Thanks. I'm guessing I'll need to get a new bolt as well since the current one only fits the old Duralast ignition coil.

 

 

got this from Amazon for $28 for 07 TL and so far no issue.

 

What does your current screw look like it should be a socket cap head screw

 

No, they're cap nuts, AKA acorn nuts, which cover the stud that the coil slides over.

SHCS's are what you use an allen wrench for, which come to think of it.... I can't think of a single SHCS on our entire car.

 

 

Thanks for the responses. Turns out I didnt push the coils further in so that was the issue. Ended up getting the Denso ignition coils on rockauto for cheaper than the Duralast.

 

come on man!

 

Lol. Yeah silly mistake. First time working on my car.
