There is a warning in the service manual...."do not use 00-05 coils in a 06-09 engine."

I would not use 06-09 coils in an early car either.

 

Would it be ok to mix and match the coils? Say use 3 from a 2002 and 1 from a 2005? Ive got one bad and i would rather buy a cheaper 04-05.

 

I have a 03 ap1 and my coilpack went at abt 139k miles. changed it to a 04-05 coilpack and no problems ... after that.

 

hi all,

just a little fyi. my 03 k24 accord had 2 coil packs fail on me. i was desperate and since my s2k motor is being rebuilt i ended up using my ap1 coil packs in the accord. no issues and its been a month now. Im assuming any k24 coil pack can be used in s2k. correct me if im wrong

 

I have a 2002 AP1 at 62k miles and the ignition coil pack in cylinder 1 went bad. I replaced it with the 2004-2005 coil pack and it works fine.

 

hey guys any thoughts on this coil packs? BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1788427 ordered from RockAutoParts $192.31 set shipped i just got it delivered here today but didn't open yet due to my CEL not coming back yet.(misfire issue)

EDIT: I opened the box just to see what the coil packs looks like, and it looks like ap2 coils.. but the catalog says its for HONDA S2000(2000 - 2003)



from Billman250's photo comparing ap1 and ap2 coils...

 

Reviving this thread in hopes of getting more info.

 

What other info do you need ? .

04-05 coils are less expensive than 00-03 coils and perform equally well or better, do not use 00-05 coils in an 06+ s2000. That's about all that is known.

 

Testing was to be done, curious if it ever happened and what were the results

 

There are some chinese made coils hitting the market now - surprise surprise - at least one member had misfires on his car from using those coils and he had to purchase Japanese made Honda coils to correct the issue. Hopefully your's aren't the same.
