If it does, the coil is usually bad! If it doesn't, well more testing has to be done. you can trade coils with another cylinder (for this example cylinder #4), run the car and see if the code then pops up on the cylinder that you traded with. However if you have a misfire on cylinder 1 for example. Could be spark plugs, plug wires, bad injectors, etc. Mind you, just because one or a combination of those codes come on doesn't mean that the coil pack itself is bad. Usually in a 4 cylnder's case the code(s) set are along the lines of P0300 (random misfire), P0301 (Cylinder 1 misfire), P0302 (Cylinder 2 misfire), P0303 (Cylinder 3 misfire), P0304 (Cylinder 4 misfire). Typically, the vehicle will develop a misfire whenever the coil goes bad and kick a Diagnostic Trouble Code causing the check engine light to come on (and flash if bad enough misfire). Thanks Hootie! How do I know if I need new coils? (thanks for the tip I will buy it online because I recall wanting something at dealership and it was way overpriced!)You're welcome. I was always puzzled about that incident and my gf was even shocked because it never was that fast before. I hope they are like that here because I was always shocked during one incident: I went to get an oil change after 6k miles and then asked how long it would be, they told me 15 to 30 min, I said ok, then no more than "3 min" they said my car was ready. That's reassuring that Jiffy does a good job and takes pride in their work. Luckily, I'm going to do it all myself for about $150 in parts. Our dealer just recommended $1000 of "routine preventative maintenance" on our 100K mile CR-V. Once the MM is reset, you will have lost the MM prompts. Then you would have to WRITE THEM DOWN on a piece of paper! I think Pigs Would Fly before THAT ever happened at a Jiffy Lube.Īs an owner, you should do that yourself by accessing the oil life reading, then press again to see what service codes are coming up. Especially in something that Honda supplies a synthetic blend for when in for a dealer oil change (not all dealers use Honda's supplied oil just for the record).thanks Hootie! How do I know if I need new coils? (thanks for the tip I will buy it online because I recall wanting something at dealership and it was way overpriced!) This is system that keeps track of what type of maintenance the vehicle needs because changing the oil every 3 to 5k miles is a bit frequent. Hopefully the folks over at Jiffy Lube are making notes of what type of service the maintenance minder indicates. Especially in something that Honda supplies a synthetic blend for when in for a dealer oil change (not all dealers use Honda's supplied oil just for the record). Manual trans is 5 year/60k if I remember right.Įngine air filter and cabin air filter is once a year or 15k.Īnd inspect belts, brakes, boots, bushings for general wear and tear replacing as necessary. If auto trans, drain and fill every 5 years/60k miles then every 2.5 years/30k after. Have valves adjusted every 45k to 60k depend on driving habitsĮngine coolant every 5 year/60k which ever first. Replace spark plugs (every 105k miles, no go on coil packs (MSRP is 91.27 from a dealer, 66.81+shipping from Bernardi parts) those should only be replaced as necessary.
