So I was changing my ignition coils today. Everything went super smooth until I got to my last coil. I was so careful not to drop the bolt but I did and it is nowhere to be found. It fell in the crack under the coil and I cant find it. I spent like 1 hour looking for it.

Is this bolt a standard bolt I can find in any hardware store? Im sure it has a special thread and stuff... Dealerships dont sell that right?

Is the car still driveable if 1 coil is loose?

 

idk about the details. but driving with a coil loose sounds like a bad idea

 

Take one of the other coil nuts off and go to your local Hardware store. Should be fine driving as long as your careful about big bumps. Just going to get a nut should be no problem. (That sounded funny) But I wouldn't leave it like that.

 

alright thanks ill go check out the local hardware store. Does it matter if the bolt is not exactly the same as long as it holds the coil right?


Too bad this happened everything was so easy. I know nothing about mechanics and I was able to change the 4 coils without even removing the stock intake. I do have small hands though.

 

its an m6 nut - fine thread

 

Should be a 6x1.50 MM

 

ya so i brought a bolt to the hardware store. For future reference to anyone its a M6 1.0mm bolt. It bolts right on no problem.

thanks all

 

^Good to know. Thanks!
