RE: Aftermarket coil on plug

Most of them are pretty expensive, the Accels are actully a great deal.. I work at an auto parts store and we have Borg Warner ones that go for $49 a piece!

Thanks well if you don't buy next time one of mine go bad i'll get the set and let you know

I'm trying to figure out if I have a bad coil because there is this strange noise coming from the car. How can I tell if a coil is bad? I was thinking about picking up some Accel's just to see.

What kinda noise ya got?

Light rattling noise coming from the drivers side of the engine only. It is usually heard underpartialthrottle in the lower rpm's.I'm getting ready to change the plugs and go from there.

Yes. On the drivers side of the engine, towards the back near the firewall.

trust me you will know when a coil goes bad ... car will run like crap almost like it's skipping... they don't always trip CEL either

i had something similar but ended up being just my injectors... i put a screwdriver handle to my ear and the other end to the injector and the noise was identical so i just left it alone....
