Default Fried a coil.

Sourced a very bad misfire to a fried coil, I have the option to drop in an ap2 coil temporarily until I find a nice new set of coils at the right price. Would I be causing any problems running an ap2 coil in an ap1 engine? I'm sure 200cc can't make much difference right? :/

Is it from a UK car? There is a common misconception that 04 onwards UK cars are AP2...they aren't...even breakers get it wrong. The UK only ever had AP1.

It's from an accord but when I looked up the part number, it's comparable with ap2. And yes, I do mean the proper ap2 and not the common mistake of a facelift.

If thats new it seems very good to me!

If they are pre owned its obviously a roll of the dice as to how long they last/what condition they are in.

It's brand new, I forgot to add vat needs putting on top so they are actually 82quid. Still seems reasonable I guess.
