Follow these steps carefully
Open the hood and remove the plastic engine cover over the valve cover area. Fastener type varies by car, so match what you see: it may lift off clips or grommets.
This guide covers two engine generations: 2007-2009 uses the K24Z1 engine and 2010-2011 uses the K24Z6, and they take different coils, so check your model year before ordering parts.
Press the release tab on each coil's electrical connector and pull it straight off. Do this for each coil you are replacing.
I disconnect the CR-V coil connectors and I study the locks — on reinstall each one gets pushed firmly home until it clicks. I have diagnosed a misfire that was only a connector the last guy did not seat.
Remove the single 10mm-head bolt holding each coil. If you are diagnosing a misfire, keep track of which coil came from which cylinder.
Pull each coil straight up and out, twisting slightly if the boot sticks to the plug. Inspect the boot for cracks or carbon tracking, and look for oil in the plug well. Oil in the well points to a leaking valve cover or spark plug tube seal, not a coil failure.
I pull the CR-V coils out — and I check for oil in the plug wells twice: once now, and once after the first drive. I have seen a tube seal weep only after a heat cycle.
While a coil is out, the spark plug is accessible, which makes this a natural time to inspect or replace plugs. Use a 5/8-in (16mm) spark plug socket. Factory plug gap is 1.1mm (0.043 in). Tighten plugs snug per the seating instructions on the plug box; no verified torque spec is published, so do not overtighten the aluminum head.
I service the CR-V plugs while I am in there for the coils, and I torque every one — the K24 head is aluminum and I have helicoiled a plug hole that someone tightened by feel. I do not skip the wrench.
Seat each new coil fully onto its plug, reinstall the 10mm hold-down bolt snug, and reconnect the electrical connector until it clicks. No verified torque spec is published for the hold-down bolts, so do not overtighten.
Repeat for any remaining coils, then reinstall the engine cover.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
