Possibly in the case of Delco's/Delphi's own products, but why would they fake the other results when the brands aren't identified? People have complained about AutoZone's lifetime-warranted...

If you still have this issue after coil/plug/wire, this could be a bad injector.

They wouldn't afaik, but a bad plug can (and often does) cause a coil to go.
I was just curious as to what (or even how) you got an error simply by attempting to reset the CEL. That sounds...

If you're still getting a misfire, spark plug replacement is advisable. Worst case scenario, you've got all new plugs. Honestly, I would have replaced the plugs before doing the coils.
What...

Then why the different results, or is that just normal variation?
Who makes ignition coils for NGK, Denso, Bosch, Federal-Mogul, Sparktronic, Lucas, Hitachi, and AC-Delco-Delphi, or who do they...

Frankly that graph surprises me because it has so many "suppliers" on it. Lots of auto parts are rebrands, so I find it highly unlikely that there are 12 different companies that make ignition...

When one of my coils went the impacts on the engine were quite obvious - a lot of stuttering, hesitation, physical shaking - there wasn't any mistaking that there was something wrong with the car.

If the plugs are original replacing them wouldn't be unreasonable. It's probably the easiest thing you could try.
There could be other things going wrong like a problem with one of the sensors on...

So I got a OBDII scanner and tried to clear the code, but I got an error when doing so.
So to recap:
1. BMW told me 2 of 6 cylinders were misfiring.
2. I replaced all 6 ignition coils.
3....

Ahh I see. Those coils are cheap then..... best place I can find mine is about $45/ea after a hefty coupon, but I'd only need 4. It takes more time to unscrew the cover than to replace the actual...

Most 1990's cars have a way to reset the check engine light without any tools some can even read the code to you as a series of light flashes. Many cars since have kept at least the ability to clear...

Sorry to be clear, the dealer recommended to replace all 6 coils for $1100. I bought 6 on amazon for $200, they were 30-something each.

That's interesting. I've got a Ford Expedition and while many Expedition owners treat coils like a maintenance item, they're not actually one (on Fords). Since we're on the topic though, regardless...
