Spark plug gaps can be out of spec anywhere after 50k-100k miles, so I would check them, my factory plugs were out of spec right around 58k miles so I replaced them at that point rather than waiting to 100k miles. Service limit is 1.3mm on plug gaps. You would not need to get a new tune, and oem plugs should not be re-gapped, just replace them when necessary.

Does anyone has the experience with Delphi GN10370 coil packs? (such as ... My link). Says they are engineered to OE specifications. They look exactly like Denso 673-2301. Fit lots of Honda models and most S2000s. Made in Canada. The Delphi name seems reputable and cool. I know... Denso can do no wrong, of course, and Delphi is not any cheaper. But wish to hear opinions on an alternative coil pack other than Denso.

This is important info, and also the reason I don't run a coil cover.

I immediately locate the bad pack by unplugging the INJECTORS one at a time. Once located, LEAVE the injector unplugged.

I then limped the car to auto zone safely on 3 cylinders with a flashing CEL.

Asked for a 2003 coilpack, said he could order it.
Asked for a 2004 coilpack, he said it won't make a difference, but it did. In stock
Do you keep the coil cover off to make the access and hence diagnosis easier- as you don't have to keep an allen key in the car to remove the coil cover?

thanks

I'd say they are a much better quality product than many of the cheaper no name junk you find on-line, maybe as good as Denso, hard to imagine them being any better or different than Densos. Pricing is in the range of average, a few bucks more than Densos.

well I should have mentioned it's supercharged .. I have breix plugs and there gapped at .08 I believe ... I was under impression with new coils the gap would need to be bigger

1 coil is literally the only non wear and tear type part that's ever broken on my S in 236k miles. Happened at around 175k. I bought a used Ap1 replacement with low mileage for $25 and it's been fine ever since.
