Coil Packs Thread #13297

[Stooge007]

hi all

my engine light came on the other day, but went away next time i drove the car

then came back, then went away

i think it's now here to stay

so i pulled the code ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ex...p;hl=paper+clip ) and it came up 21 = ignition system

that's an issue with coil packs, right?

i have read through:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...ml&hl=coils

but i have a few questions:

1) if i'm running stock everything, should i be OK to grab a set of second hand stockies?

2) if not, how do i tell which one(s) is faulty? pull the rocker/coil cover and diconnect 1 by 1. if the idle doesn't change, then that one is faulty?

3) most importantly, how do i change the coil packs? is it a pretty easy DIY? i've got limited knowledge and tools

4) if i go new, what's the latest and greatest? Splitfires still? JJR? other? are they still ~ $500-600?

thanks guys

I wouldn't be replacing my coils on the strength of the warning light - I would expect some concrete defficiency to make itself known first.

Second hand stockers should be fine but i haven't seen any good way to test them. It should be possible to build some kind of a test rig but its beyond my electrical skills.

The Yellowjackets seem to be as good as the Splitfires but the red ones are allegedly inferior.

hmmm, might get the car checked out then instead of blindly replacing the coils

cheers

I got Splitfire from a ebay trader for $550, it solved my sluggishness, gave me a huge power boost and stopped a slight shudder. (also cleaned the injectors)

The Splitfire model number for the RB25Neo is "008"

Now i can floor my accelerator with ease!
