I have a 2003 production date of 11/2002
Looking up parts online I come up with two coils
90919-02259 (originally 90919-02249)
Production date: 08/2003-05/2005
MSRP: $94
vs
90080-19027 (originally 90919-02230)
Production date: 01/1998-08/2003
MSRP: $116

There is a 20$ difference between them. Besides price any idea what the difference is? Why did the coil change for 2004 models and after?
 
I ran into this recently and sorry to say we did not find out why. I went with my parts guys (Toyota Dealer) software part number, too stayed period correct. But you can certainly do better on price, try Genuine Toyota Parts for 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser|Base 4.7L V8 - Gas | Toyota Parts just make sure to give your VIN # as I've had many issues with their web page part numbers. Then verify your findings.

Heads-up, don't buy the cheap coils on ebay claiming to be genuine Toyota.

When to replace Ignition coils.

Amazon is your friend. All 8 for $62 brand new.
 
I was thinking about getting the cheap ones. I heard they don't last long. But for the price I'd be okay with that. Or get the Denso ones at 45 a piece. Just pulled one of my coils and it's the 90919-02230.

Looks like my issue might be a leaking valve cover spark plugs gasket. Just had work done last week on my valve cover and they destroyed the gasket, it's filled with oil. So I imagine that makes it difficult to spark correctly. So tomorrow I'll be stopping by their shop. Last time I use them :/.
 
I wouldn't replace any coils until that oil leak is fixed. But that'll do it, oil will cause the spark to "leak" to the nearest ground.

Don't get the cheap ones. I made that mistake, and they lasted anywhere from a week to a couple months. Yes, some actually failed after a week. Furthermore, they would sometimes fall apart when removing them, leaving the rubber boot stuck on the plug. What a fun way to turn a 5 minute job in to a 50 minute job (which was even more fun because I was four hours away from home, and it started pouring as soon as I popped my hood).

If you can't afford eight Densos, just replace the ones that are failing right now, and replace the others later. I initially replaced all eight of mine with cheap ones, and after a few months I had replaced all of the cheap ones with the originals or a Denso replacement.
 
I'd avoid the cheap ones as well.
I've read too many reports of them failing fairly soon after.
And when they fail they don't always throw a misfire code, so you could waste days and days in the future trying to track down issues that could all relate to cheap coils.

Hassle the price down on them though... my local parts store had the originals with a RRP of $135 AUD each!
I told him I usually get trade price, so he came back at $110 AUD.
I then told him my mechanic got one last week from the same shop for $70 AUD.
He ummed and arrhed for a bit then said, OK.
So, about half the price for genuine ones.
Still pricey though, when you're buying 8 at once. :(
But $560 is still better than $1080.
Saving an extra $200-300 by going cheap aftermarket ones is the last thing I'd recommend, for such a vital and important component.
 
I replaced one, then bought a spare to keep. I've replaced 6 so far, each time I install the spare, then buy another backup. This helped me spread out the cost.

The thing I hate is it starts to fail long before the CEL is triggered, so I get that lovely stuttering/hesitating, but I don't know which coil is faulty, until it eventually fails bad enough to get the CEL flashing and the code will tell me which one.

Interesting so many have failed, I assume not the new ones!

May I ask a ton of questions:
How many miles on your rig?
How many miles on your spark plugs and which brand & number?
What was gap on the spark plugs of failed coils?
Did the spark plugs of failed coils have halos around the bases where porcelain meets body of metal
Did coils show signs of getting hot i.e. discoloration, brittle rubber boot, cracking, split body, etc?

I bought the vehicle in mid-2015, and replaced 2 coils in April 2016. Replaced another in October 2016, then November 2016, then May 2017, then July 2017 (this was to replace one from April 2016, free warranty replacement), then October 2017. After I replace the final 2, I'll still keep a spare, since I went with cheaper Import Direct brand from O'Reilly, and since 1 new one failed.

196,800, I think at last glance
all spark plugs were replaced 2 years ago (right after I bought it, trying to solve a problem that ended up being a failed injector), I'm not sure how many miles but not more than 25k
I don't know the gap
I don't check the spark plugs when the coils fail, I just change the coil
The only visible damage I see on the coils (that I can remember) are some discoloration where the bottom rubber portion meets the plastic cylinder portion, I can get a pic later of the most recently failed one. I'm not sure what brand were previously in there, or if/when they were replaced before. No major failure like cracking/splitting/melting.

edit: from what I can remember (usually not much), most or all have spots like this when they fail:

Flamma IGC107F has been running for over 3 years on top of spark plug #3 in mine. So far, no problems. Made in Japan.

That is a lot of coils replaced for under 250K miles. I suspect your old spark plugs that you replaced where Factories. As they age gap widens drawing more current, creating more heat. Heat is killer of coils.

I was hopeful you had more info on old plugs and condition of old coils. I've been noticing some coils show signs of high heat where as others do not. I find halos around spark plugs of coils that show high heat damage.

Just looking for early failure clues (pre CEL)

I'd buy two of these: http://amzn.to/2ifo6G9

One to replace your current bad one and one to keep in the truck as a spare. When the next coil gives out, replace and reorder another spare. Denso is the OEM supplier so you're getting OEM quality without Toyota/dealer markup.

That listing also states it's a compatible part with both parts you listed.

I put one of those in my 99 roughly a year ago. No problems thus far. For reference, my 99 has 255k miles right now and I was given pretty complete major repair records with it. To my knowledge, all coils except the one I replaced are original.

Aftermarket spark plugs will not come pre-gapped for Toyota applications. They will need to be measured and gapped.

Toyota plugs will come pregapped already.

Not true, a memeber just did a tune up on his truck and assumed the plugs were properly gapped, he bought them from the dealer, they were not. Truck ran like s***. Pulled plugs, checked gap, to small. Re-gapped, runs perfect.

Where you buy your plugs makes no difference on whether or not they are properly gapped.
