Are Aftermarket Ignition Coils Worth It? Toyota Denso OEM vs Aftermarket

[kimchee]

Amazon didn't have Denso for my 2000 V6 Camry, they have NGK (Japan) which is around $20 less than a Toyota discount dealer. The problem is Amazon have a few sellers with fake parts and I don't think they are doing much about it other than getting a refund. In fact, I posted a negative review about the fake seller in my review then my post was taken down as not in accordance with Amazon.

Short answer without even watching the video. Yes, they are fine and often better and absolutely cheaper than OEM. This pretty much applies to all common makes and models in the US

I installed some ebay coil on plugs on my 2003 Honda about 3 years ago. The life duration on the coil listed on the ebay listing was 50 to 62k miles. I got about 70k miles on those coil before getting misfire codes. So i got my moneys worth.

Facts go with OEM on parts like this! Otherwise it's like rolling Dice...

You got the coil numbers wrong. Standing at the front of the car and facing the cabin, , 1 is the far left firewall coil (on passenger side), 3 in the middle next to firewall, and 5 to the far right next to firewall. The ones next to the radiator are from left to right (facing the cabin) 2, 4, 6. In other words, the vvt solenoids are closest to coil 5 and 6) and both vvts are on the right hand side by the air filter. That should be a lot of redundant explanation.

I drive a 1996 Avalon with the original coils and wires. I would go to the junkyard for an ignition coil if I needed one. I've had good luck with junkyard parts. You can get OEM and using the tests in the Toyota factory manual you can test the parts to see if they are good or not.

Sadly, with Amazon, EBay and places like this, it is seriously packed with fake parts. This includes fake printed names and part numbers. So what are you really paying for and how would anyone really know what they are buying unless you stopped at the manufacturer to pick it up.

Your ECM is programmed to identify the resistance between 8 or 10 windings.

I work at denso and see these coils built everyday go with the denso

Did you have to pull the intake manifold? Is this a 3.3 liter engine? Some videos show that you have to remove the intake.

How interesting. Now I realize Denso coils are made in Japan. It says it clearly. Lol. Must be high quality

[duypham]

It's worth it if they're not fakes.

I'm so tired of hearing everyone just "echoing" the sentiments of their parents and uncles saying that if it's made in China it's crap. Truth is, some of the best quality manufactured goods are made in China. A large percentage of the parts in our most reliable cars are made in China. We're not living in the 70's and 80's anymore. Also, counterfeit parts on Amazon and eBay are much less common than people think. There is a lot of competition between companies to win the loyalty and the "household name" status by means of quality and longevity thank people think. China would not be the world leader in manufacturing if most of what they made was crap.

The denso original coil replacement can be purchased for around $ 62.00.
