I have determined that my 1999 xj8 needs one new ignition coil. I cannot find a vender that will sell me one Denso #mb099700-02 60. XW93-12029-ab, 4pin.


My question is, can I replace one coil with another manufacture? And which one would be recommended.




Regards,


Ray Robinson

 

Ray,

Did you try the forum Sponsors and Vendors? For example:

Your Jaguar was built during the "Ford Years", and there is some interchange with Ford parts. Suggest you remove the offending coil and take it to a NAPA or Ford dealership to determine if a Ford part will interchange. The overall shape may be identical, but sometimes Jaguar uses a unique connector.

 

Web search turned up sellers...

 

Ray,

I've moved your thread from General Tech Help to X308 forum.

I recently bought just one off eBay for about $15 and it has worked fine

 

I recently purchased some from ebay for about $30.00 each with free shipping. Also, Autozone has a 4 pin Denso make for about $130.00 each. I think they are easy enough to replace so if anything goes wrong with the cheap $30.00 ones, I am not too worried.
As far as a Ford interchange part, I didn't not find any that had the same shape as the Jaguar ones. Ford Thunderbird and Lincoln LS with the 3.9l share some parts, however not coils. Sad to say I think you're stuck without a Ford interchange part.

 

The Lincoln LS and my X300 would eat through eBay cheap ones pretty quick. On the LS I bought BWD at Advance Auto for $50 a piece with lifetime warranty, on the x300 I went to the local pull a part and grabbed 3 Sets of stock ones for $9 each. I'll never go the cheap route again on COPs.
