ignition coils

Wondering when is it a good idea to replace the ignition coils. Mine have been on for almost 2 years, probably about 16k miles or so. Car's running fine but I was going to do plugs and wires soon and am debating about the coils. Also anyone have a good brand they like.

seriously....they work, but there original. Don't worry...there fine. They will let you know when one of the them malfunctioning. Your car will sound like a go-cart! It happened in my last car(1988 Buick regal) and it was a costly job, because I drove it 30 miles like that and my cat started to melt! :bash:

I'm with the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" crowd :wink: ..you can however test your coils w/ an ohmeter as preventative maintenance..should be between .5-.9 ohms resistance on the primary side and 8,000-10,000 on the secondary side of the coils..remove them to test :wink:
