Amazon didn't have Denso for my 2000 V6 Camry, they have NGK (Japan) which is around $20 less than a Toyota discount dealer. The problem is Amazon have a few sellers with fake parts and I don't think they are doing much about it other than getting a refund. In fact, I posted a negative review about the fake seller in my review then my post was taken down as not in accordance with Amazon.
I installed some ebay coil on plugs on my 2003 Honda about 3 years ago. The life duration on the coil listed on the ebay listing was 50 to 62k miles. I got about 70k miles on those coil before getting misfire codes. So i got my moneys worth.
You got the coil numbers wrong. Standing at the front of the car and facing the cabin, , 1 is the far left firewall coil (on passenger side), 3 in the middle next to firewall, and 5 to the far right next to firewall. The ones next to the radiator are from left to right (facing the cabin) 2,4,6. In other words, the vvt solenoids are closest to coil 5 and 6) and both vvts are on the right hand side by the air filter. That should be a lot of redundant explanation.
I drive a 1996 Avalon with the original coils and wires. I would go to the junkyard for an ignition coil if I needed one. I've had good luck with junkyard parts. You can get OEM and using the tests in the Toyota factory manual you can test the parts to see if they are good or not.
Sadly, with Amazon,EBay and places like this, it is seriously packed with fake parts. This includes fake printed names and part numbers. So what are you really paying for and how would anyone really know what they are buying unless you stopped at the manufacturer to pick it up.
I got a fake Denso ignition coil from RockAuto , I purchased 3 Denso from Autozone and couldn’t find the 4th anywhere and resorted to RockAuto for 1/3 of the price , obviously it was to hood to be true and it was a fake. Car was still misfiring until I purchased the 4th Denso from Autozone.
@@mosthated8190 since autozone already price a Denso ignition coil at around $100 a piece! are you saying Toyota dealer is charging you $500 per ignition coil? I found that difficult to believe.
It is, over 130K miles on the OEM Denso coils and still going. NKG also Japan, high quality. Also 130K miles on NGK OEM Camry spark plugs, will be replacing with another set of NGKs.
It's the 3.0 I was able to do it without taking off the manifold it is tight and it's different if its the RX or a model where it's hidden under the cowl. You can see me do it here th-cam.com/video/LHBdTY5kJIo/w-d-xo.html
@@RickTroutner Ok. i have a 2004 Lexus ES330. Different engine but looks similar.. Im not sure if I would need to remove the manifold to replace spark plugs, unless you know?
@@adamr8628 Its really if you can fit the socket in there and pull it out. Does the 330 have the plastic manifold? That one seems to take up more room but I'm not sure. The manifold isn't hard to take off it's more the extra expense of having to replace the gaskets. If you can pull the coils out you should be able to pull the plugs.
@@RickTroutner Yes, I thought it at least looked like it has a plastic outer surface. The amount of work isn't the main thing to me, I'm sure it's not that hard. What bothers me is breaking open seals on the engine because that I always has a potential to go wrong in the future and leak, etc. And not sure if there would be fluids to drain out too.
@@RickTroutner Last checked not sold by a Toyota dealer, believe only dealers could sell OEM parts. This could be Denso aftermarket or fake (Amazon has fake sellers) not Toyota/Denso to Toyota specifications. I have used Denso aftermarket, so far so good. There is a company remanufactured Denso OEM coils to new specifications at 1/3 the price.
@@PFab generally speaking yes I agree, but technically if someone(or you perhaps) can look it up & get back to me on that. For example; denso spark plugs generally come from Japan but not always, don't be lazy just look it up & let me know👌
@dmironyuk I pulled up the Wikipedia on both denso and ngk, and both have headquarters in Japan. Now I'm not sure if both have other facilities in other countries but there is a Denso in America. Not sure if they manufacture parts in other counties either. But here's a link to the Wikipedia.

I assume all Amazon and ebay "deals" are too good to be true. I would rather take my chances on a junkyard OEM coil.

Facts go with OEM on parts like this! Otherwise it's like rolling Dice...
Also never install china garbage on Japan art. Do u think china would build quality part for their enemy?
Agreed 👍
My OEM denso coils FAILED. That’s why I’m searching TH-cam 🤣

This. I bought Toyota branded Denso at the JY for my 4Runner. They were so cheap that I bought four of them from a Scion.

@@mosthated8190 autozone is way overprice.
@@mracer8 it is definitely, but beats Toyota Dealership selling me the same Denso part for 1/5 of the price.

I work at denso and see these coils built everyday go with the denso
Discount 🙏 please 😅
Your ECM is programmed to identify the resistance between 8 or 10 windings.
How interesting. Now I realize Denso coils are made in Japan. It says it clearly. Lol. Must be high quality
Denso is higher quality than parts from China. Because Denso is Japan. Honda is Japan. Exactly

Did you have to pull the intake manifold? Is this a 3.3 liter engine? Some videos show that you have to remove the intake.

Is DENSO OEM for Honda?
It's worth it if they're not fakes.
The denso original coil replacement can be purchased for around $ 62.00.
Amazon has them for $53 USD Denso 6731301

What about NGK coils, any good anyone know? Assuming yes but also heard... China🫤
Not sure, I'm currently using NGK knock sensors going on 2 years no issues and the denso coils for over a year and a half no issues.
NGK is the oem part for most Japanese vehicles. Made in Japan along with Denso.
