My third cylinder is misfiring, code P0303 and I need a new coil pack or ignition coils (same thing from my understanding), anyone knows where i can get performance part or original? Autozone charging $192.99 .....

call Ken from protegegarage.com tell him I sent you and he'll hook you up with the OEM unit.

get the 1.8L updated coils from your dealer for $35

1.8L Coils are only $35 at the dealer ??????????

yeah but you need the coil bracket also...it's still a good cheap mod if you wanna show off your valve cover.

Matt can you explain that statement about the coil bracket?

Topher

you don't need a coil bracket...it's all one piece.

Topher

the only thing i bought were the coils and wires...i think the wires were $50...the coils were $35...i'll see if i can track down the part #'s. i was lucky enough to have my valvecover replaced under warranty...the finish was peeling off. i worked at a mazda store at the time and they replaced it with a 626 valvecover. this helps to seat the wires properly...if you look at the 2nd and 4th wires from the left, you can see where they were trimmed to fit the p5 valvecover...that's where your stock coils mount...it's not an issue if you trim them...but this just looks cleaner...minus the hideous blue paint.

here's a link to the pic:

ignition coil: mazda part# FPY2-18-10X
wires: mazda part# 0000-18-149A

these are the same coils ran by tripoint in their proteges. they're supposed to be a better spark...so the give you a smoother powerband...hell, i don't remember exactly...i put these on 2 years ago.

yeah, those look good. I didn't know they came with the bracket and everything.

Topher

yeah, all i had to do was move whatever that thing is that's mounted in that spot now...and move the wires to the opposite side of the motor...it really wasn't hard at all. i don't know if this will work with all of your s/c piping or not.

Hey, i changed my coils, new plugs and new wires, but cylinder 3 misfire code is still there, what can i do?

alex_aha

Topher
