Do you mean you want an OEM coil to replace the one you have? Since the Original Equipment Manufacturer (so far as you know) of that coil is Toyota, it's traditional to just drive around until you see a big business with lots of new cars and a "Toyota" sign. (called a Dealer). Or try: https://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/T...091902113.html (also a Dealer)

Or, do you mean you want a good coil to replace the OEM coil? RockAuto has lots of them: http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/t...tion+coil,7060

Just where have you been "searching the internet", by the way?

I have found lots of good stuff like that at salvage yards. OEM and takes all of two 10mm bolts to pull it out. You can always keep the receipt in case the coil is bad or that it wasn't your problem to begin with. I have never heard of a coil leaking oil...

Just read this correctly! thanks ordered the coil


Yes I would like an Oem replacement for the aftermarket coil that was installed by the pervious owner! lol I've tried rock auto but it doesn't seem like they have anything factory. google seems to think they've been discontinued !?

What? You want a Toyota OEM coil. You haven't tried a Toyota dealer. You don't look at the dealer website (showing the coil you asked for) that I provided. You looked at RockAuto (which doesn't sell Toyota-branded OEM parts), And you say "google seems to think"??

Go to Napa tell the Counter People you need a Coil for your 1988 3.0 part # ECHIC150

Since the coil is leaking that is a good place to start

Then no doubt a bunch of these coils laying around from the 3.4 swaps

Lots in yards as well Check out Carparts.com

I have not checked the links for OEM, but a Haynes Manual and a Multimeter will tell you if you have a good one from your local salvage yard. Just need to measure the Primary and Secondary resistance on the coil. If either one of the test fails, it is a bad coil. All of my OEM coils are salvage and work great.
