2005 Mazda Tribute Ignition Coil Packs

 

in 2005, the Mazda Tribute V6 remained the same from the previous year, but the 4 cylinder was upgraded from a 2.0L to a 2.3L. Unlike the old engine, this 2.3L uses independent ignition coil on plugs. Replacing these can get expensive if you head to your brick and mortar auto parts store, but Araparts has the full set of 4 for an incredible price. Same goes for the ignition coils for the 3.0L V6. The ignition coils between the 2 are not interchangeable. The 2.3L 2005 Mazda Tribute ignition coils are extremely easy to replace. We are confident enough to say someone who has never ever worked on cars can do this job as all four of the coils are right on the top of the engine and are held down by just one 7mm bolt. It's as simply as unplugging the snap connector, unscrewing the bolt, and removing and replacing the coil pack. For the 3.0L V6, there are 6 individual ignition coils. Three of them are easy to access, and the other three are underneath the intake manifold. This job can be done by anybody with basic mechanical experience, and it can be removed in under 20 minutes. A novice may take 30 minutes, but hey, it's better than paying a shop a ton of money to do this. This job is not complicated at all. It's very straight forward, and the parts to remove come off without too much trouble. You must remove the air box, EGR valve, and throttle body. You then remove the vacuum hoses that attach to it, and the bolt holding it down. Once removed, the three rear ignition coil packs are fully exposed.

 

2005 Mazda Tribute Cost To Replace Ignition Coil Packs

 

If you don't bring the parts in, most shops will charge between $350 and $700. Any more than that, and something is seriously wrong. Let's break it down: These ignition coils at any local store will range from $40-80 for one aftermarket ignition coil. On the low end, that's $240 plus labor, which should only be the minimum of one hour since this job takes less time than that. one hour of labor can run $50 on the very low end all the way to $150, and $200 (for some dealerships). Let's not forget that many shops will also mark up the price. So if you manage to take your vehicle to a shop who doesn't mark the price up, and only charges $50 per hour on your 2005 Mazda Tribute, then about $350. Remember, these parts can be purchased for under $100 with shipping included. If it's a dealer, (depending on the dealer) the ignition coils could cost from $80-$100 each. That's $400. Then $200 per hour (the highest we've seen) would bring it to $600 plus tax...for a job that could be done in under an hour and under $100! This is why we are here. We want our customers to know how and where they can save money. It starts with research. Of course, we do that for you.
