Indeed, the ones I got were not a factory made, but they were made by Denso. And, I only drove it for 26,500 miles with those.. In fact, those Denso coil packs were cheaper than the OEM's, like 40 bucks per piece.. And they were made in China.. But why were they so weak though?? What else could cause the trouble? The EGR valve, or it's port? Or, was it simply just one of those things people say : "You get what you pay for" ??-- 08/18/2020 at 143,483 mi Ignition Coils (Aftermarket)
Denso is not the OEM part, nor are their parts what they once were years ago. I posted a picture a while back on Azine about OEM replacement coils available from Rockauto. In short, look for 05-08 Acura RL coils made by Hitachi. They are the same part number as the original j32a2 (CLS) coils, with a minor cosmetic difference. Specifically the top outer plastic, due to a change in valve cover hardware for later j series motors.It turned out that there were 3 ignition coils being toasted!! I was really shocked, because those coil packs were not old at all. I swear I got those replaced:

Hey, thanks for your feedback. I guess things have changed, and who knew that I was gonna get those sets made in China lol. I guess this explains that I just mistakenly went out with a set of POS, and I did get what I paid for lol. I should have gone with those factory Hitachi sets in the first place, but..., IDK if this was from the inflation shit after covid, or something but.., damn.., I forgot how expensive these coil packs were lol..Denso is not the OEM part, nor are their parts what they once were years ago.

I had to get them all new..Coilpacks aren't cheap lol especially brand new ones.
Thanks! The progress is slow like a turtle in a cruise control mode right now, but it's getting there!Clean dude, nice work!
