    Question Ignition coil question

    Hey guys!

    It's kinda my first post in here so don't eat me if i get sth wrong YES I used the search function and I couldnt find anybody so clumsy to do what I did...

    I've got my 89 Accord Sedan and it seems that my ignition coil is broken, thus the car won't start up. I know that I needed to buy TC-03A coil, but accidentally I ordered TC-04A. I wonder if somebody could answer, would it work with my car or not. Because I don't want to damage anything, yet the coils look just the same. Looking foward for your prompt answers

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the site, and thanks for using the search function. I would return the TC-04A coil and get the TC-03a or look into the how to section for a MSD or other aftermarket coil.

    Searching around indeed the two coils look similar, however the primary/secondary winding ratio's may be different.

    A TC-04A comes up as a part for late 80's V-6 Legends OEM # 30520PH7006 or 30520-PH7-016

    The TC-03A is listed for the accords, OEM # 30500PH1026

    Most parts stores while have aftermarket generic coils that will work just fine. I have an msd in one and an accel in another. Just a little basic moving wires around and they work. Not sure if the instructions I found where on here or the box now lol. Like $30 if i remember correctly

    Do you have any pictures of the aftermarket coil installed?
