Beck/Arnley Ignition Coil P/N:178-8166
Beck/Arnley 178-8404 ignition coil for the 2001-2009 Mazda B2300 4-cylinder 2.3L and other vehicles steps battery voltage up to the high voltage that fires the spark plug. A coil that can no longer deliver that voltage leaves the plug without a good spark.
A weak coil can show up as a misfire, a rough idle or hard starting. These signs alone do not prove the coil is at fault, since a worn spark plug can produce them too. You need one coil per vehicle, and this listing is one.
It fits the 2001-2009 Mazda B2300 4-cylinder 2.3L and also works as an ignition coil for the 2003-2005 Mazda 6 4-cylinder 2.3L. Its form, fit and function match OE.
