Ignition coil BERU or Duralast
I use a BERU ZSE001 Ignition Coil, also in a '72. It's bomb-proof - zero starting issues after a lifetime (3 decades!) of bump-starting.
Only disadvantage is it doesn't like being left in the 'contact' position for long, which is not a problem for me.
ive been using them in my old 4runner for a couple years now and have yet to have one fail. Think they have like 20k miles on them or something like that. Truck runs great.
Conselho: coloque bobinas originais Beru ou então Magneti Marelli. As demais bobinas pra K4M não são boas de acordo com todos os membros do Clube da Megane que precisaram fazer troca delas!
A blue Beru is what I have been using for a decade.
Those parts prices are way overpriced, those same Beru coils and ngk plugs are under 240 on fcpeuro.
Autozone duralast, cheap and get the job done. Coils are coils and don’t really affect any performance
Duralast coils are known to be problematic
Hola, me sustituyeron las bobinas y bujias de mi mazda CX5 2015 en septiembre 2024 y ya estan dando problemas, códigos de falla P0302 y al principio P2302 en todos los cilindros, son marca "D" duralast. Son económicas pero no duran mucho.
About 2 months ago I had a cylinder 4 misfire while on the interstate so I pulled over got it towed and replaced all the ignition coils(duralast) and spark plugs. It fixed the problem and I went on my merry way. Well now today I am currently on the side on the road waiting for a tow truck and once again got the p0304 code(cylinder 4 misfire). When I replaced the coils last time the coil in Cylinder 4 looked like it had melted. I haven’t been able to look at it now but what could be the cause for that? Do I have an underlying issue somewhere else or did cheap parts just bite me in the ass like they always do?
Used them on my 17’ Wrx premium. Worst decision i ever made. Motor started misfiring. Drove easy until i fount a replacement. Motor blew before i could swap them out 2 weeks later.
