1997 Oldsmobile Achieva ignition coil

The middle asking price for a used one is $38.73, across 1 live eBay listing for the 1996–1998 generation. That’s what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Sold prices aren’t published anywhere you can count on, and asking prices usually run about a quarter higher than what things sell for — so we say which one this is.

How it comes off

  1. Take off the engine cover, if there is one.
  2. Unplug each coil.
  3. Remove its bolt, then twist and pull it straight up out of the plug well.

The usual order on most cars. A 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva may hide a screw or a clip somewhere else: if a piece will not move, look for what is still holding it before you pry harder.
