Denso is what I run and never a problem.
If you do replace a coil, go with OEM or quality aftermarket parts. Cheap coils cause new problems. The Hitachi coils on RockAuto are probably alright.
Truly you can’t get anything but the Denso coils. There’s no money buying and installing twice.
Have to use Denso coil packs. All the cheap ones are crap.
I got the coil conversion kit from import car parts and GD 2.0l coils. The new age coils needed to be trimmed a little from the edges to fit. I bought hitachi coils instead of oem diamond ones and saved a lot of money. They work perfectly.
If you go to Autozone and open the box of their 2004-2005 coil pack, IF it has a "Denso" or "Made in Japan" sticker on the bottom, it's 100% OEM.
Next time I'd just get the proper Hitachi coils and Denso/Ngk plugs. They don't even cost much more. The Fit is pretty sensitive about using proper plugs/coils.
Running much better now. Will eventually replace the other three ignition coils, but those Denzos are $90 a pop.
I did manage to find the oem plugs (12290-rb1-004) for $32 each from hondapartsnow.com and Denso coils from AutoZone (673-2312) for $65 each shipped.
Don't buy unless it's Denso or Toyota I wasted $300 on fakes
