Cop....
So like, I cooked a coil today. My get out of jail free card (it *was* my spare. Now I don't have one!)....
I know a lot of folks run "some sort of toyota coil on plug" - but all the ones I've seen are like the miata ones, one coil for two cylenders - but all the ones I've seen in pics on this board are individual.
Where do I find these? I've heard people getting into it for like $50, if I could do that, especially ultra quick (no drivey till I fixey), I'd be super greatful.
Any hints on what to use and how to use it, and I'll be your best friend or something. Thanks!

Hit me with your questions. I have additional pics. You can also email me at: rfernandez@codetel.net.do at any time you need. Even though we're both very far away from each other I can check about the connectors (since they are rather small and I had no problem finding them) and UPS them to you.

I'll start looking on ebay. The coils are for 2000 and newer Corollas and I think Camrys.
I had to pay through the nose for mines locally but I think you can get them for around $70 all.

Indeed, many thanks! So it looks like you're getting two "sets" of coils - they make very similar ones (in sets of three) for their V-6's.
I'll get digging, and thanks for all the help - knowing too much is better than knowing too little. And COP all I know is... I couldn't find it in the first few pages of posts. :-P

Uh oh, now I'm getting desperate/silly. I imagine this is the same coil from the new miatas.... But that doesn't mean it'll fit.

How do these look?

Let me know if you want me to try to get you the connectors; one thing though, all local stores already closed and won't open till the day after tomorrow. Sorry man.

I asked at the COP thread about those numbers but couldn't get any answers. If I were you I'd jump on those. I don't think you'll face any issues with those. Do it, not too much time left in that auction. + If I'm correct you'll pay less than $60.

Still not terrible, but... :-)
I don't have the salvage yards here on speed dial. :-( Have to bug my buddy if he knows which are good.

Abe, don't forget you also need those 4 connectors. The thing is the date doesn't help at all.
Sorry man

Abe, contact that guy first. He's trying to sell each individually. If I were you I would make him a $60 offer for all 4 and only for the 4 as a group. You don't do anything with just one.

No, it was awesome. Flashed the rom, and had a weird issue where it left one coil high after one of the reboots.
Turns out, I think, that it's cause I didn't select "first spark output" or some such drivel. I think. Anyway, the fan stopped working, and while testing that, I smelled burning.
Oh, and he already sold three of the coils, only one left. I could try to piece together a set of 4 from a few singles and doubles, but... I dunno. Just waiting, I guess. Maybe I can find a junkyard.
<edit>
Oh, I burned my first coil because of inverted spark. But I had a spare. Now, I toasted my spare. FM will sell me a set for $100. Then I'll have another spare. :-) But I'd rather do COP than that.
