Ignition Coil Confusion
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2016 5:59 pm
So I'm doing the research on ignition coils for the corolla engine (second gen Vibe). When I pull one out of my engine, the part number reads 90919-02252. They are thin pencil type ignition coils with a stainless/aluminum shaft. Doing the research on rockauto.com comes up with different parts for the Vibe versus the Corolla and the Matrix with the Corolla engine. Attempting to not pay $60+ per item with the Denso coils, I see that Delphi makes a very reasonably priced ignition coil. Since they make so many different ignition coil units, I would think that they should be competent at manufacturing them. I then see on ebay that e-herko down in Miami has the Delphi GN 10341 four pack for only $124 shipped. That is only $31 a piece. I then check the compatibility on the e-herko and other websites and consistently find that the GN 10341 "is not compatible with the Corolla Vibe's engine. I then go and do the same searches on the Matrix 1.8 and the Corolla 1.8 for the same year. They both show the GN 10341 as the correct ignition coil. I then go to the Delphi website and put in 2009 Pontiac Vibe. It comes back as .........wait for it...........GN 10314. ???? Could this be a typo? I then do a cross match on the Delphi site and enter the 90919-02252 OEM number and it comes back as 10341. When you look at the 10314, it is a stockier shaft and does not have the same stainless steel/aluminum thin pencil shaft like the one currently in my Vibe (90919-02252). Soooo, I am posting this for anyone who may have replaced their OEM ignition coils and can shed some light. I am 99% sure the right one is GN 10341 NOT 10314.
