Ignition coil HITACHI or HUCO
Bought my Hitachi's from Rock Auto, don't remember the part number but I bought OEM replacements. 30k later and I'm still trucking.
Pros: still trucking, OEM replacements
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 30000 km
Hitachi ignition coils. Got mine off Rockauto for $30 each. I believe they might be OE
Pros: cheap, possibly OE
Hitachi IGC0003 from Rock auto, 3 years, zero issues.
Pros: zero issues, 3 years
Vehicle:
Nissan
Part number: IGC0003
My 2018 Civic is Hitachi.
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I changed all 6 coils on mine for those last year and they've worked without any issues.
Pros: worked without issues
I also ordered four (4) new ignition coils from Hitachi, installed them 60 miles ago and it's been smooth since the installation. My car is quieter, more responsive, and idles better. No, check engine lights at all.
Pros: quieter, more responsive, idles better
Mileage: 96 km
I had the same deal, but none of the similar error codes. Verdict: it's probably your ignition coil. Overtime they crack SOOOOO SLIGHTLY that they let in moisture and you're boned. I snagged the Huco cheap one, been fixed ever since. I finally saw the cracks in the old one when I took it off and it was easy to change. I have a 1997 Golf GTI 2.0 8v
Pros: easy to change, fixed issue
Cons: cracks let in moisture
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The HUCO coil simply popped and failed while driving off at an intersection, no cracks, no water.....just failed.
Cons: popped and failed
My ignition coil failed on Sunday. It was a replacement I purchased 5 years ago (brand name HUCO).
Cons: failed after 5 years
Car always kills them. I was the most surprised when it killed the Hitachi coils.
Cons: coils get killed
