What Could Be the Signs of Bad Ignition Coils? Most of the cars today consist of in-built internal-combustion engines that require fuel, air, and electricity to run, and the ignition coil is most vital to supply a concentrated equation. So, you probably don't want the ignition coils to dry out. In this post, we have racked up the list of notable signs that If checked timely can save you a big chuck of money. Check out the list here: 1. The function of the ignition coil is to transform battery voltage to high voltage. The high voltage is then transferred from the ignition coil to the spark plug in order to create a strong spark a failing ignition coil will not give enough power to the spark plug, therefore, causing a weak spark or no spark. 2. Flashing check engine light alerts the driver that one or more cylinder is misfiring one of the common cause of a misfire is ignition coil first use a scan tool and confirm the cylinder is
misfiring next use a test light and check for spark the engine must be running to perform this test. 3. Engine shakes at a stoplight a misfire is most noticeable at idle and at a stoplight if the engine shakes and check engine flashes suspect a faulty ignition coil number for high mileage. 4. Poor gas mileage a good ignition coil must give a de quit power to the spark plug to provide a good strong spark if the spark plug is still in good condition replace the ignition coil. > Buy exclusive Audi spare parts Australia & genuine Mercedes parts Australia here. 5. Fouled ignition coil: Prematurely ignition coil fail caused engine oil contamination a bad valve cover and bad spark tube allows engine oil to seep into the spark plug and eventually foul the ignition coil valve cover replacement is required in possibly new ignition coil sometime wiping the oil off the ignition coil can help 6. Animal interference during the cold season usually rats are known to crawl into the engine bay to stay warm. Rats are known to chew on ignition coil wires connector fuel injector wires and anything rats can chew on the look for rat droppings on the engine bay 7. There are times, a vehicle has no choice but drives through a flooded road or portal when the vehicle drives through it water can splash into the engine bait and wet the ignition coil, therefore, preventing the coil from working properly 8. Visual inspection if you are experiencing a lack of power open the hood and take a look at the ignition coil sometime a bad coil can crack from excessive engine heat and the ground itself spark can be seen jumping from the crack to the nearest ground 9. Hard start or no start: If your ignition coil has failed it can cause a hard start or no start use a scan tool and check which cylinder is misfiring.
