Bosch Ignition coil

When you buy on Amazon, make sure you buy directly from the manufacturer. You are right. A bosch ignition coil costs $34 at the official bosch store in amazon, while it costs $60 at advanced auto parts.

Pros: official store, lower price

I replaced all the spark plugs as well as the four ignition coils (new Bosch coils). After repair, the car runs perfectly and I no longer have any hiccups while driving.

Pros: car runs perfectly

Bosch Ignition coil

For a simple, plug and play upgrade for the ignition coils, the Bosch coils from an Alfa Romeo 4C are better than the stock Beru coils or the Mopar coils found in the Dodge Dart.

Pros: simple plug and play, better than stock coils

Stick with the stock Delphi’s. I went with Bosch recently and half of them died within a day (N55). FCP swapped them out, no questions asked, but still a PITA to do the work multiple times.

Pros: FCP swapped them out
Cons: half died within a day
