Misfire coils

I have 3 coils that are mis firing on my 2007 Fit. Has anyone had theirs replaced recently? If so, how much were you charged?

Do you know where i can get quality ones online for cheap?

Are they reatively easy to replace?

Buy some ignition coils from eBay make sure they are Denso
I replaced my ignition coils recently, all of them actually and I only spent around $320 for installation and coils

Denso make ignition coils too for our cars, for spark plugs I'm going with Denso IK22L
Ignition coils and spark plugs will cost $300 for parts, labor shouldn't be much either

I recommend getting the OEM coils, they're Hitachi IGC0053's, go for 50 bucks on Rockauto, so about 200 for the coils + shipping, and I also ordered the NGK Laser Iridiums (which are also OEM) for 7 dollars a piece, so 28 dollars + shipping, total cost was around $260, and it's all OEM.

Installation is basic -

$650 is a big ripoff! They are very easy to replace yourself. Buy the parts and DIY it.

No offense to you at all, but I hate Hitachi horrible quality and there ignition coils don't last. I had a brand new set of 4 installed and 4 months later 3 I got the worst misfire in my car.

If you decide to self-install, easier if you have a GD3. On the GE8, gotta remove the wiper harness to access the plugs and coils if memory serves.

I haven't replaced coils, but I have replaced spark plugs. I like the above advice. Go with OEM parts on this and do the install yourself.
