Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

To replace the ignition coils, you've got four because this is a four cylinder engine. They are all situated right here on top of the engine. To do one of these, it will be identical for the other three.

I’m going to start by unplugging it, so you push the lock in, pull this out. You might have to take two hands and just pull it off. Put that aside. Take a 10 mm socket and ratchet. Loosen the nut that's holding this on. Be careful not to drop them, because they are very small and they're painted black so they're hard to see. Luckily, this one fell on top of the alternator, so we're good.

Now I'm just going to reach under here and work the coil out. I have to break the little seal that's in there. That's your coil.

Here's our original coil and our brand new one from 1AAuto.com. Same style connectors. Same style boots with rubber seals. Same size and same mounting hole. This should fit in the vehicle and work great for you. Since this coil was working just fine, we're going to reinstall it.

Push it right into the opening. Line it up with that stud that's there. I'll just push it right down. I'll slide over the electrode of the spark plug, and then I'll reinstall the nut that's holding it on. Plug it in. These are just 8.7 foot-pounds, so like 9 foot-pounds, which is really just hand tight. Just give them a little snug like that and it's all set.
