Ignition coil Denso or BERU
Denso is what I run and never a problem.
Truly you can’t get anything but the Denso coils. There’s no money buying and installing twice.
Have to use Denso coil packs. All the cheap ones are crap.
If you go to Autozone and open the box of their 2004-2005 coil pack, IF it has a "Denso" or "Made in Japan" sticker on the bottom, it's 100% OEM.
Running much better now. Will eventually replace the other three ignition coils, but those Denzos are $90 a pop.
I did manage to find the oem plugs (12290-rb1-004) for $32 each from hondapartsnow.com and Denso coils from AutoZone (673-2312) for $65 each shipped.
DENSO 6731309 Direct Ignition Coil - Coil on Plug. DENSO coil interchanges with OE Diamond coil; OE Quality Replacement Part
i just changed them for the oem Denso and so far car runs good hasent turned off
Those parts prices are way overpriced, those same Beru coils and ngk plugs are under 240 on fcpeuro.
Don't buy unless it's Denso or Toyota I wasted $300 on fakes
