Ignition Coils For 2004 Mitsubishi Galant

 

The 2004 Mitsubishi Galant uses individual ignition coils. The 2.4 Galant uses 4 ignition coil on plugs and the 3.8 Galant uses 6 individual ignition coils. When one of these coils fails, and the rest are around the 7 year old mark, the others will likely start to fail soon too. Replacing these coils is not a very difficult task, but the real issue many people face is the price of these coils. At the local auto parts stores and dealerships you will see these coils ranging from $40 to $80 each. This is not a reasonable price for the average person. We are here to solve this problem. We have full sets of 4 or 6 coil packs for your 2004 Galant at prices that are hard for any brick and mortar store to come close to. We get our prices low by buying a large amount, and selling directly to you, our customer.

 

Symptoms of a Bad Ignition Coil Pack in Your 2004 Galant

 

Whether you have the 2.4L 4 Cyl or the 3.8L V6, you will see the same type of symptom when your engine is misfiring. You will notice the engine running rough, especially when accelerating. It may seem like the car has no power when accelerating, but cruises just fine. Often times you will get a check engine light as well. You can scan the check engine light with any OBDII scanner. These scanners can be purchased online for under $10 and local stores are starting to offer them at $20. Trust us, don't hesitate to get yourself one of these, even if you know very little about car repair. Why you ask? Because this tool can save you a trip to the shop if you have something small like forgetting to shut your gas cap, and the other way this can save a non car savvy person money is giving you the ability to walk into a mechanic shop armed with knowledge. When scanning the check engine light for codes, you will get something like P0301 (Cyl #1 misfire) through P0306 (Cyl #6 misfire). Not to mention, you can use your OBDII scanner on every vehicle in the US manufactured on 1996 and up. So save yourself time and money, and get an OBDII scanner.

 

Can I Replace Just 1 Coil Pack in My 2004 Galant?

 

The short answer is yes, of course, but the other coils may still fail not too long after. Our recommendation is if your coil packs are around the 7 year old mark, or you are unsure of the age of them, then it's best to change them all if one fails. If they were replaced not too long ago, then you may be able to get away with replacing just one ignition coil. If you decide to replace your spark plugs at the same time as you replace your coils (usually a good idea), make sure your spark plugs are properly gapped. Spark plugs that are not properly gapped will make the ignition coil work harder, shortening its life. Remember as spark plugs wear, the gap increases also. Old spark plugs can also shorten the life of an ignition coil. Coil packs do not have an estimated life span. There are factors that affect the longevity of ignition coils however. One main factor being region. Galant owners who live in humid regions have to replace their ignition coils much sooner than someone who lives in a dry state. Improperly washing your engine bay can also cause damage to a properly functioning ignition coil. Make sure you are not directly spraying the connectors with any sort of pressurized water.
