Thanks so much!!! I’m only mildly mechanically inclined, but I was able to do all four in less than 30 minutes because of your video. Completely fixed my misfiring issue. Since it’s 11 years old, I decided to first try the generic $30 for all 4 coils off eBay. Replaced all since they’ll eventually be an issue anyway. Completely worked. Even if they don’t last as long as name brand, I probably won’t have the car anymore by the time there’s an issue. Thanks again for such an awesome video!

These were exactly the symptoms I had. Replacing plugs and coils solved it. Like driving a new car, thanks

Thank you for this video I ended up fixing my car. For anybody who wants to know if you buy a card code scanner you'll be able to tell which one of the coils are bad because it will tell you which ones are misfiring. It'll take the guesswork out reduce the time that it takes to do it.

Easy fix, for some one like me. I have no car repair experience. Thanks for the upload. You saved me a few hundred from the auto body quote.

Straightforward, common sense approach. Good, instructional video and anyone with good mechanical aptitude and basic hand tool experience can facilitate this repair by following this gentleman's advice. One nit-pick: volume was a bit low, but that is probably my laptop. Thank you for a good, solid basic repair video. Regards, Ambroid

I had these symptoms and replaced the four front coils. No difference, but before I got around to replacing the rear coils the misfire suddenly worsened and the car lost all power while on a motorway. The patrolman showed me his diagnostic display and the fault surprised even him...the crankshaft sensor was faulty. A simple replacement and the 18 year old car was running beautifully, not the slightest hint of a misfire.

Great video and thanks you saved me $1K in repairs did it my self changed all 4 and coast me $60 bucks TY

VERY methodical... If you were to remove only the wire from each ignition coil one at a time while the motor is running, you will be able to find out which coil is not working. When you remove the wire from a working coil/ cylinder that coil will stop working and that cylinder will miss. You will hear and or feel a noticeable difference in the motor and that will tell you the coil you removed the wire from, was working. When you remove the wire from the broken coil, there will be no difference in the motor's sound or operation. When you have found the coil that isn't working, replace it with the new coil.. This way you only need to remove the bad coil and replace with a new one, not change out every coil to test. Still a very good video.

This is very cool video. 2009 Honda Fit Sport has a misfire. Already replaced plugs but still misfiring so off I go to buy a ignition coil to test it. Thanks so much for a making Honda Fit video!

Great video...every time you said "known good coil pack" I kinda chuckled to myself, having pulled my hair out in the past trying to troubleshoot a problem and the new part was bad also. :-)

Thank you. I’ve been having same problem and went to get is fixed and my quote came up to 870NZD 🤦🏾‍♂️ but now, it’s looks like it’ll only cost me the coil pack and my time haha thank you again

Update after watching your video and reading comments. I decided to start with the fourth pack since that was your problem one and another viewers bad part. I was right, swapped the fourth one and fixed it first try. Thanks again.

Nice video. I think it needs to be pointed out that there are two banks of cylinders - front and rear - which use different coils so if you're using this method of troubleshooting you will need to buy a front and a rear coil. Either that or take a gamble on just buying one or the other and being prepared to have to order the other one if it doesn't fix it first time.

Great video to assist all of us Honda Fit owners. I had the hesitation, watched your video. I took the simple route and replaced all 4 and the problem was solved. I guess for me this was easier than trying to figure out which one was faulty. On Ebay the coil packs are not overly expensive. You video explained the problem, showed the solution and explained the repair so that I could do this easily. Thanks for making this quick and easy.

Had the same symptoms in my 2008 Fit with 117k Miles. I went all in and replaced all 4 coil packs. Problem solved. Runs like new.

Excellent video, and diagnosis of problem, only concern would be if you have a bad spark plug, it would exhibit be the same type of misfire, suggest checking them first ( cheaper than a coil) , then the coils. If over 7 years old OR over 105,000 miles.

2008 fit i have same problem , and what i did was closed the hood and spray lot of water and find out that water filter through the rubber and wets coils and spark plugs and damaged so i will replace this hood rubber or wheather rubber . I think That's what my problem was all this time

Good video. Kudos for doing this in mid winter. I waited for the spring and I started with cylinder 4. LOL. And yes the volume was low.

Thank you buddy, just like you it was finally fixed when I got to the last cylinder. Many thanks.

Thank you so much my fourth coil pack was also deffective. You saved me so much time and money!!!!

Rather than run the engine to listen for misfiring for each coil pack separately, go to any large auto parts shop and ask them to check for code of Check Engine light (FREE!). That will tell which cylinder is misfiring.

You described my issue exactly however, mine has triggered the check engine light but your issue did not. This makes me assume it must not be the same problem.

great video, thanks. you know that rattle the engine makes outside the ticking, what is that sound sir? is it normal, do you still have this car, does that rattle get worse?

good job thanks my jazz shakes like a sheep dog shitting a bit . so now I know how to fix it

Now THAT'S a good DIY video. Well-done, Bubba!

I just replaced plugs I had the same problem but not all the time. I have 200,000 km on my 2008 fit. I removed the last plug by hand didn't have to use the ratchet. The coil had soot running up the center post and the plug had soot along one side of threads. I hope thats it but I'll keep an eye on this if it persists. Thanks for the video.

thank you so much!!! ... i will try to fix mine since i have the sputtering upon initial acceleration

I have an '08 Fit that requires a warmup before it can drive. If we don't warm it up, and put it into gear (reverse or drive), it will stall and kill the engine. It also sometimes has a fast paced clicking sound while it idle at times, I'm thinking its more in need of a valve adjustment, but do that issues sound like a misfire? 80,000 miles on the car

It is fact that the jazz has 8 plugs/coils but at idle only the front bank of plugs are at play and the rear bank only work when load and revs are up ,so knowing this ,a miss at idle would indicate that it is happening on the front bank coil/plug .Found this info in the Haynes 2006/2008 Honda jazz manual .

2:39 that piece should pull off or apart . If it is burned it will probably break apart . And you can actually see the small spring that is overheating and arcing

Dude your Honda fit sounds like it hasn't been well maintained. Sure sounds neglected. The good thing, it fixed your problem! Cheers.

My 2008 Fit has a different set of symptoms. It idles smooth as silk. The misfire happens if I press the pedal down at low RPM. It began one day after previous days and months were perfect. Since it has 190,000 miles on it, I'm changing the coils and plugs. By the way, prices range from $40 to 277 for a set of 4 coils!!!! What could be the difference, gold wiring?

i belive they can be fixed,you just need dissasamble coil,there is spring,and (resistor?) or fuse, so clean spring ,contacts,check that fuse(resistor) for resistance,if no resistance i belive u can solder small wire to it,it can just cause radio tune problems,other way is just set your spark plug gap smaller i set 0.5mm and now sisters jazz running fine,was early hesitation on low rpm when accelerate. thx for video,maybe someday i will make how to fix that coils,now i just heave videos about testing them(no tools needed) and fix hesitation problem,with smaller spark plug gap :)

You can also simply unhook each coil pack wiring harness 1 at a time to pinpoint what cylinder is bad..

The Check Engine code will NOT tell you if the issue is spark plug, coil, or fuel. It only tells "Misfire cylinder 3" You then are back to the age-old technique of try a few parts to see which solves the issue.

Way better than 50/50 chance, in my experience, that it's the connector, not the coil pack. Slightly twist the tabs on the coil pack and save yourself some money and have less failures. Also note that the camshaft sensor uses the same connector, so when the camshaft timing code shows up, the same fix works.

Excellent video. I could hear at warm idle that your engine had a bit of a knock/ clacking noise. I have the same motor and same noise. Did you ever figure out what that noise was?

I pull mine apart and clean them up, but I have to keep doing that every 12 months, although it does work to fix the issues.

i get no lights, but my 2008 fit juts had a tune upo but only gets 14 MPG city in LA...,, had all plugs changed.. ignition starter cleaned...help? car egine seems good. sounds good. no idle issue pleanty of power.just bad milegae.. cars is new.. used buy from 3 weeks ago.

I have the same problem as the PRM on the speedometer not getting off easily. It is the problem of the headphones ignition

I have this problem with my element I think. I'm going to get a good coil and try it out. Thanks.

Thank you for the video , it was really useful , greeting from Haiti .

Hi, I have a 2007 fit which was experiencing the same symptoms jerking at 2000 to 3000 rpm. its been a few months, I changed the fuel filter in the tank, it wasn't solved, then when i got fed up of feeling that jerk I did a scan and got a crank position sensor code. I installed a new one but had the same jerking problem. My dealership checked plugs and found one burnt out plug at the back because my car carries 8 plugs and 8 coils. however they said that the ckp code was not going away and kept asking whether I had bought a genuine sensor. I had a genuine sensor put in. They then told me that it was a faulty reluctor wheel otherwise known as crank pulser plate and that it was the first time they had come across this . I really wondered why they would tell me that the pulser plate would have an issue as this is way down in the engine, and I don't even think that they actually went there. long story shortened, i got someone else to pull out the coils and to inspect them and two on the exhaust side were leaking. Imajine after all that it was leaking coils. As we didnt have new ones at the time we taped them up with electrical tape. Issue was solved. no jerking at any rpm. so now i am waiting for new coils that i ordered. if you have that issue, please check your coils and plugs. note i never got codes for misfire.

this is exactly the problem i'm having! i look forward to repairing it!

thank you for sharing your knowledge. can you share how to change the engine mounting of this honda fit car.

My question is why would you assume it's the coil to begin with, and not worn out spark plugs? Thanks for your video, very informative.

For my Fit, idle is smooth. Pressing the gas pedal medium to hard at low RPM causes shuddering. After a couple of days, got check engine light. Mechanic said he can read the check engine code. Next day he says "Could be spark plugs, could be coils. $550" How come the computer code isn't specific? I explained I am on fixed SS income, asked can you just do the plugs and see how it runs? All communication is by voicemail. He will not agree to do just the plugs for now. Am I being fleeced?

How much does this ignition coil cost?

i hope it will solved my fit misfire and unstable idle.Great video.thank a lot paps.

had the exact same problem. very helpful video thanks

this is my problem right now,thanks for sharing this vid

Thanks for the video. So informative! My car broke down in the middle of motorway today because of the broken ignition coils. I want to repair myself but have trouble with purchasing the items. Are the ignition coils of Jazz same with Fit? My car is Honda Fit 2005

Very useful video.. thank you! Could it happen that more than one cylinder or ignition coil are bad and need to be fixed or it happens only with one coil at once?

Its funny my honda dealer said it was a valve adjustment but always have read that it was the coils. I feel it should been a recall from day one with these H motor (horrible design) but luckily honda replaced for free but now 10yrs later still having issue yet no more warranty.

Engine check light. Getting these two codes as error P0303 cylinder 3 misfire detected P0351 ignition coil a primary secondary circuit Will changing coil solve the issue?

Hi anyone sees this, can you please respond as soon as possible? I have a 2009 fit with about a 137000 miles. I think what you're describing here is what is happening to my vehicle and I plan on getting it fixed in a couple of weeks because I won't have the money until then. But i need to make a trip tomorrow morning for work--it's about 80 miles round trip in wondering if I will be OK? What are the chances of its stalling on me or breaking down when I'm on the highway? I have 2 options is far as a route to where am going. One is taking the interstate and the other is taking a county highway. The interstate makes me nervous because it is heavily trafficked which would be a good thing if I do stall theyll be more to help me but heavy traffic could also be a bad thing! But there is traffic on the county highway as well just not as heavy obviously. Any advice is welcome! Thanks in advance! Just a couple of FYI 's. When I get to my destination the car will be sitting for several hours so I won't be driving in coming right back but the total miles miles driven would be about 80 to 90. Also right now I am parked and idling and it seems to be fine. I only noticed it when I'm driving in after I've been driving for just a few miles. It's not constant but like every few minutes.

I have a slow jump loss of power in my first 3 gears & 5th as well... have you heard of this?

My partners' Fit has two plugs per cylinder, so two packs per cylinder too, just for those who might be thinking this, like I am. 8 of these aren't cheap, and when one goes, the rest might not be too far away

Don’t know if it’s been covered before. But what if you have two bad coils. How do you go about identifying the bad ones because switching one out at a time may not help effectively identifying the bad ones?

I have Honda fit model 2013 old shape. When I am driving knocking is feeling to me.after this I change the svo2 egr valve the knocking is finished but after two day the knocking is again produced.

i had gone ahead and changed all 4 ignition coils, but still am not able to fix the problem, is there any other way, please suggest

wonderful instructional video - Thank you !!

Mine continues to misfire despite the change of coils. I changed all the coils, even four of the plugs.

Thanks! Very informative video.

I’ve replaced all coil packs and plugs and It still misfire and check light

Great Video. Thanks you. I have the same problem.

Thanks for this video. It's very helpful for people who have wasted a lot of money in unsuccessful repairs and bad diagnoses. So the first generation of Fits has only 4 ignition coils? Is the engine sound at 5:41 normal? Were there any other problems with the engine at that time? Especially at 5:56 onwards it sounds really strange. This is how my Fit sounds too but I keep telling the mechanics at the service center to check the engine for problems as I don't like the sound of it. I also keep telling them that this was not how the engine sounded like when it was newer. Specifically I feel like when the engine was newer it sounded like a normal gasoline engine but after 60k miles it started to sound more and more like a diesel engine. So it this normal? And lastly, how much did the ignition coil cost?

Fantastic video thank you so much

Good 1 son ,well done ,just like a pro.👍

my first coil was cracked when I pulled it out it was in half replaced it car runs like new again.

I know my 09 has cylinder 1 issue. I will likely just replace all 4. Just recently I have started to get gas smell in car. Not exhaust but actual gasoline. I’m hoping the smell is just leakage from the misfire.

Great video! I just got a nice 2008 Fit and love it BUT (!), it has this exact idling problem and I don't like it one bit! Can you please suggest a good aftermarket replacement coil that's not a small fortune? Thanks in advance!

here is an EASY FIX use a test light or wire to see the spark, ground one end and with the engine running touch the anode. and see how far the spark jumps as you retract the wire.

Hello, It won't bring any problem to change only one? I have the 1.2 with 8 spark plugs and 8 coils. In thi case I should change the pair of coils of the affected cylinder or just one? Thanks! great video

I replaced all 4 coilpack and 4 spark plug , but 3 of 4 cilanders still misfires , what could be the issue

Mine idles great but when hitting gas from a stop it chokes. I did the coil packs 6 years ago, not 50k miles

Wondering if the cold has any impact on this symptom, as mine only started once winter started to set in, originally only noticeable when the car was stone cold. I have a set on order and am looking forward to getting mine swapped, especially if it means I can hold off on a valve adjustment for a while longer. Thanks!

Hey, I've honda city idsi, the problem is car jerking or jumping when i accelerating, especially when going up hills, what's the issue? It's not vibration, it's jumping like

replaced all four coil packs a year ago, and the car reacted well-shuttering, and strange idling went away, and MPG increased dramatically. But recently shuttering has started again-particularly when running the A/C, and now it won't start in the cold. Is it possible for the coil packs to fail so quickly after replacing? Also, Honda dealership is ignorant when it comes to coil packs-I had been taking it in for service for years-even had to replace the cad. convertor. When I found out about the coil pack issue, and told them about it, honda service denies that this could be an issue. Is there a possibility that something else is causing these symptoms, or something else is causing the degradation of the coil pack?

Hello my friend my car only misfires only while driving. Last year I changed all 8 coils(the black thing you're changing)but still misfiring so I cleaned egr and throttle body but still misfires what solutions you suggest because mechanic s didn't know what's wrong

Ives replaced all of my coils and plugs with oem and it still misfires while it’s starting in the cold (the weird thing that it runs normal when starting up again). Mines a 2009 so idk if valve adjustment counts

my 2015 honda fit has a rough idle. no codes or check engine. but i can hear it sputter and my milage is ass now. i think this is it.

I understand you can track down misfires by selectively deactivating cylinders (sometimes called a power balance test). Is that something you can easily do on Honda engines of this era, e.g. using OBD commands?

Thanks

Thanks you for the video, very helpful

Anyone know what that ticking sound is? Can’t pinpoint it on mine.

My daughter's 2007 Honda Fit stalls when she is stopped. It is infrequent, but it is scary when it happens as the car rolls forward. Could the ignition coils misfiring be the cause?

My dear brother, I have a Honda Honda Jazz automatic in 2004 where the automatic transmission, the car sirens and the appearance of the D sign are separated, can you help me solve the problem?

I have a 2005 Honda Airwave (Same engine as yours i believe)with Hitachi cm11-110 ignition coils(Notice online they say that these coils are only for 07-08 models). Do you have a recommendation on where to pick up some replacement coils online for a decent price?

I think this might be the problem I'm having as it does the same sputtering while stopped or when the ac is turned on, as well as full system shut down randomly. The only thing that you didnt list that is happening to me is a squealing sound when the car first starts or when the ac is also on. Would this symptom be related to this as well?

Our Honda Jazz (eu fit) skips and shakes as I accelerate. No rough running at idle. I changed all spark plugs but not the coils. Shall I swap all eight of them? Or swap the distributor?

Hello, I have a 2007 Honda Fit. I got the coils replaced twice within the last fours years of having the car. The second time I replaced the coils I got the catalytic converter replaced also as the mechanic said this was a problem as well. Each time I also got the spark plugs replaced. This was possibly 8 months ago. Today the check engine light is on. Blinks when the car gets over 2000 rpm and continues to blink until it returns under 2000 rpm or so. Stutters when idiling. Car dies when the a/c is on and idling. The car must be driving in order for the car not to die while the a/c is on. Can you please suggest what else this could be? Clogged vacuum lines?

Thank you.

08 fit continues to shake very slightly at idle sometimes, regardless of all four coils and sparkers being replaced, gave 401 code, cleaned egr passages as well as replaced egr valve, still no difference

I have the same issue..bad shaking idle and when ac on but run well at 3000rpm and up jazz vtec 2007...before i buy and replace the coil , could it caused of dirty combustion chamber? I've looked with my hose camera and the up side of piston very dirty

for the Honda Jazz / Fit 8 spark plugs , 8 coils

Hmm...I have jazz 2002 reg. never changed coils,only spark plugs,so far so good 😆

Thanks for the video, but can you tell me where the mass air flow sensor is please?

Honda Fits don't have coil packs. Each spark plug has its own individual coil. A coil pack has more than one coil in it, like a six pack of beer has six beers or a wolf pack has more than one wolf.

I've done all that it still misfire I changed o2 sensor still misfire
