Just order one from Rock Auto . Probably all made in China at the same factory ?

 

Yeah I used a brand from RockAuto. Wasn't a big name brand one and it was around $25 if I remember. Works fine so far.

 

Some brands are reboxed acdelco.
I chose those. Get them from amazon for a better price.
As prices change they've gone up $10 since I ordered.
ACDelco D598A GM Original Equipment Ignition Coil

Even the 3rd party knockoffs are nearly $100 locally.
And most stores around here don't carry them in any version.
Last time I tried local it meant going to 4 stores to get 3 coils and paid excessively to do it.

 

Oh shoot you have a V6 so that coil won't work for you

 

Of course I will be ordering from www.rockauto.com with discount code included

Choices are

BOSCH 0221604112 {#00147} .............$37.79
Actual OE part;

ACDELCO D501C {#12613057, 12629037} GM Original Equipment ..........$57.79


Leaning towards Bosch just because its $20 cheaper and I think I should be fine with it.

 

I put a set of Delphi's in my 2006 STS. They were $45 a piece from Summit.

Summit has free shipping on orders of $99 or more.

I've read too many horror stories of late about Rock Auto. Back in November 2017, you can no longer talk to a live person. All contact is done by chat and/or email.
I've also read numerous complaints, that if they mess up your order, they make you pay the shipping back.

 

I have been using RockAuto for years now and never had any problems. But I would assume anywhere you order online you risk an error happening.

 

Ordered

BOSCH 0221604112 {#00147} .............$37.79
Actual OE part

and a new AC Delco double platinum plug also added Fel-Pro upper intake gaskets.

Plan to do it all this weekend hopefully get rid of my cyl 2 misfire.

 

DFWSRX - Please come back and tell us how it went . I have a coil or something going bad , if I drive normal it's fine but if I get on it there's a miss and the engine light comes on .

 

Yep that's definitely a misfire code get the code read (AutoZone for free) so you know what cylinder is the problem child.

I can now confirm the OEM coils are indeed Bosch so I was happy I ended up going with Bosch.

The job was easy as hell 30-45 min max didn't even fully remove intake....just loosend bolts and pryed it up.

I also suggest Iridium spark plugs I put in double platinum's but recently found out we should be using Iridium

 

Sounds just like when I had my missfire. The code would give the cylinder that was miss firing. Replaced with a brand from RockAuto that I think was SPECTRA.
