I know he list which coils you can use if you buy the DIY kit, I would go by that. Also, just pm him, he's pretty quick about replying to that stuff.
Good Luck

Denso coils. As far as testing a coil, snap on makes a tester. I dont know how good it is though as I havent tried it out.

if a coil is just getting a little weak and blowing out at high boost, the only way to narrow it down is to get a new one and try it one cylinder at a time until the problem goes away.
Thanks well if that's the case spoolinup offedrs a warranty bugt impossible to get a hold of

Have you emailed or pm'd him? You make a thread before doing this. "Impossible" to reach? Maybe if you try it would be less impossible. I'll have Matt contact you.Originally Posted by Nismo2evoawd

Hit up his website in the DIY section it says which coils to run. Thats what i did. Ordered the DIY kit and went from there. 5k miles so with no problems so far.

you thing the ecu is going to tell you where the misfire is at high rpm and high boost? generally you can only pick up misfires at lower rpm but most coils are fine down there.Originally Posted by KX250Fmotoracer

I do warranty, even out of the warranty period, but in order to get a hold of me you actually have to email, PM, or AIM me! Please don't say I'm hard to get a hold of and ruin my spectacular rep for near-instant replies to email/PM's/trouble issues when you have NOT actually tried! Originally Posted by Nismo2evoawd

I even scanned through my SPAM box and nothing in there.First and foremost, has any troubleshooting been done? What is the issue? 99% of the time it's a boost leak when a customer has an issue!
As for how to test (Toyota does not publish these, you won't find this ANYWHERE on the web I assure you) :
Test with a multimeter.
Left to right pins with the coil facing you.
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
1 - 2 = .352K
1 - 4 = 33K
2 - 4 = 33K
3 - 4 = 27M
Those numbers are approximate. You are looking for a coil that is not consistent with the rest.
Next time feel free to PM me as no one knows these Denso coils better than me.

I bet he means to read the plugs after a run! That's the easy way to diagnose a misfire.Originally Posted by n2oiroc

i can atest to Matt's warranty program. i bought a used kit and a couple of months ago my car developed a problem that we thought could have been an ignition issue (way past the warranty) and Matt was willing to help me out and replace the suspected bad coil. my car ended up having a torn coupler and not a coil but that shows how confident and willing he is to help his customers. his response time was quick! great warranty!!
