How to Replace the Ignition Coil in an Acura Integra

Like many manufacturers, Acura uses both a distributor and distributorless ignition system. In a distributor ignition system, the Integra's ignition coil sends current to the spark plugs to start the car. If the Integra ignition coil malfunctions, your car may not start, or it may leak oil.

Difficulty:
Moderately EasyInstructionsThings You'll Need:
  • Masking tape or notepad
  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Replacement ignition coil
  1. Step 1

    Identify whether your Acura Integra uses a distributor ignition system. Cars with 1.8L, 2.2L, 2.3L, 2.5L or 3.0L engines usually have a distributor system. You can also look for the distributor, which has the spark wires connected to it. If you don't have a distributor, you don't have an Integra ignition coil.

  2. Step 2

    Detach the negative battery cable from the battery before starting. Take the cap off the distributor. To expose the ignition coil, you may need to remove a plastic cover.

  3. Step 3

    Label with masking tape or make note of the rotor position on the housing. You need to reassemble in the correct order for the Acura Integra ignition coil to work properly. Remove the ignition rotor and the leak cover.

  4. Step 4

    Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the ignition coil to the housing. Some models use different length screws, so you pay special attention to the length and placement as you remove the screws. Then, pull out the ignition coil.

  5. Step 5

    Install the stock replacement or universal ignition coil. Replace the parts in the reverse order you disassembled them. Start the car to ensure the repair worked.
