How do you change the ignition coil on Oldsmobile delta 88?

Answer 1

Assuming its relativly close to an 88 model you will need these things... 10mm, 13mm , 15mm, 17mm wrenches and sockets, one will be a deep well, or a long wrench. Basic pliars, needle nose too , it helps. And a star socket, I cant remember the size, but a full set is like 9 bucks at Auto Zone. Step 1: remove the positive battery cable from the battery, and push it to the side to where you wont short it out. Step 2: Remove the 2 bolts from the intake Manifold that holds the ignition bracket on. Step 3: Remove the side mounted botl at the alternator and its corrosponding bracket that mounts to the ignition modules bracket. Step 4: Using your pliars remive the wiring harnes from the module. Step 5: Remove the 6 Star screws that Hold the Coil packs onto the Module. *Use pen and paper and write down the wiring so you dont mix the colors up when you put it back on. Step 6: Slightly pry the entire modules mounting bracket backwards twards the back of the engine. This will bend the bracket slightly, but dont over do it. Step 7: Use a 10 mm wrench and remove the 4 nuts on the bottom of the Modules bracket * be carefull not to drop these nuts, this is a tedious job. Go slow or you will be searching with a flash light and a magnet. Step 8: There is no step 8, you have the Module in your hands. be sure to test it at your Local Auto Zone, they do this for free. this part is 100 bucks, and you dont want to waste your 100 bucks. This is a non returnable item once its installed unless warrantied. Step 9: Reverse this process in exact order. I hope this helps you.
