a) how do I check?
b) isn't that covered under the warranty?

 

I ordered some last week. Will installing them soon.

 

Rodger: yes, they are covered but the only way Mazda will replace them is if they run a voltage meter thingy on them. Believe it or not, most will still be "within parameters" despite burn marks on the outside of the coil packs.

 

i guess it depends on how you look at it. It's not worth my time to take it to the dealership. I mean I have to pull my rims off and some how make it there after work before they close. I'd rather pay the cost to be the boss..haha I took a meter to mine and they are definetly bad. Not to mention those burn marks.

 

Bryan, if they are bad....how does your car run?

 

oh and how much are aftermarket ones?

 

the car will still run...just won't pull as hard and mpg will drop slightly. The coil packs are $24 each. You'll need 4.

 

ok, lastly, how do i check them

 

It runs, but it will run better with the new packs. Hopefully it will fix my idle. People have also been dynoing low with bad ignition coils. So I don't want to look like a total tool in a few weeks with the lowest numbers..hahaha

 

under your intake box, you'll see them. if they've got burn marks on the outside.... might be good idea to change them

 

I'll check my coils tonight.

jedi, are you coming to the next meet?

 

I should be. I've got something for ya...

 

I wonder what it could be?

 

which part of the intake box? i have k&n v.2 installed, would i be able to see them with out take it out?

pix would help =)

 

Was the forum down last night?

 

yes it was...i couldnt get on after 12...

 

yup, the hamster pulled a groin. Took a while to find a replacement...

 

damn hamsters, they need to upgrade to genii pigs.

 

I keep pushing for ferret's but they say we can't afford them.... (and they're illegal in CA)

 

just outsource the job....move it to Mexico, where hormone injected ferrets are legal!

 

we can have danny run the wheel and we'll put a picture of rodger tied to a fishing pole in front of him as he runs. That should motivate danny..

 

motivate me to run backwards....

 

how about a shotgun instead of a fishing pole?

 

how about a ***** instead of a shotgun..im sure he'll run to that real quick! hahahaha

 

only you bryan would think of that
