With that being said, I was going to swap the coil packs from my 08 si to my 03 s2k so when I go boost down the road i won't have to worry about it. Good idea or no?
there is a difference in ap2 coilpacks, 04-05 are one model, and 06+ are different models. It's been said that 06+ coil packs are specific to those years, you can't use an ap1 coil or 2004-05 ap2 coil on 06+ ap2's , but I don't know if they are backward compatible where 06+ can be used on previous years. I've read that they can't be used so unless someone knows that they can be used I'd stick to the 04-05 ap2 coil.

Considering what coil packs do, I can only imagine that the 04+ were revised for efficiency/reliability, and maybe the 06+ were revised to work with the ECU and DBW system?

average lifespan of the coils is close to 100k miles, they seem to fail around 90-100k based on postings on here, but you'll always get some that go further than that.
I guess that kinda narrows down my missfire code with 170k miles on mine

pretty good chance of that being a coil , at that mileage they don't owe you a dime, nice run with them.

I've sourced a 00 coil-pack, a 04, a rsx, and a 06, once i get them all i will setup a test bench/test system, and see if we can get some more awnsers.

I myself have a 00, with the misfire code, which looks like its the coil-packs.

More info to come.

This was a very useful thread. thanks to the people who shared and participated.

Also I recommend the moderators that this thread should be stickied and moved to whatever forum category that is appropriate for the following reasons:

-Many members have experienced misfiring issues
-The responses in this thread are very objective and the members who have participated are very logical and informative
-Coil packs is a common maintenance topic.
