Ignition coil HITACHI or MSD

Bought my Hitachi's from Rock Auto, don't remember the part number but I bought OEM replacements. 30k later and I'm still trucking.

Hitachi ignition coils. Got mine off Rockauto for $30 each. I believe they might be OE

Hitachi IGC0003 from Rock auto, 3 years, zero issues.

My 2018 Civic is Hitachi.

I’ve always had good luck with MSD coils. I’ve had them on MULTIPLE vehicles.

I purchased the MSD coil upgrade kit, swapped out the coil pack, new spark plugs / wires, fresh oil / filter. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten.

You can also spring for the MSD coil, about twice as much but the boots are attached better I think, where the OEM part might have the boots rip off or the springs get caught up.

I changed all 6 coils on mine for those last year and they've worked without any issues.

So I replaced the coils with MSD packs, and tossed in fresh plugs, even though the old ones were less than 10k miles in. This seemed to fix the issue for a while, but it ended up coming back.

Replaced the plugs and coils with Hitachis from Rock Auto for about $40 a piece. The Hitachis turned out to be dog \ud83d\udca9 and every one blew within about a year (the first one went bad in about a month).
