On my Dodge it was the connection pluging into the coil some times I have to wiggle the plugin from the bottom seems to work everytime.
Here is a photo of the ignition coil. It is in the engine compartment against the fire wall. if you find the distributor with 4 wires going to the spark plugs, follow the distributor center wire which plugs into the ignition coil. A new coil is about $150. Good Luck. Sorry, the photo didn't work. Search at "http://www.gprparts.com/OEMParts/vw.asp" for a 1997 Jetta igition coil to see the photo
A bad ignition coil can cause your 1987 Acura tachometer to quit working. A bad tachometer cable or ground wire can also cause it to quit working.
I believe is 12 to 14 volts.
when the hall effect and ignition module are good, the injectors and coil no work maybe this sensor is bad
how does a coil work in a MGB
AnswerI'm not sure if your car has a crankshaft angle sensor. If it does and it is bad,your ignition will not work. Try having a shop look at it and tell them what you have replaced.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This has happened to me twice now. The first time was the box on the drivers side, on the wall. It was not fully placed against the wall and wasn't getting ground. The second time, which was just recently, my ignition coil went out. Luckily, the ignition coils only run about $45 to replace.
i would change the electrical part of your ignition switch- i would change the electrical part of your ignition switch-
Check the coil pak. Known to do this. I own a '95 Neon that is doing JUST THIS SAME THING! Today I decided that I would change the ignition coil, but oddly that DID NOT solve the problem. I'm exactly sure what the problem is now....any other ideas??? It is a ECT sensor problem. Im positive ya, check the sensors if changing the coil pack did not work. I find that ignition modules are more apt to have the problem described, coils are usually consistent. I agree. If the coil checks out OK, then the ignition module, attached to the distributor, cuts out at a higher temperature. i have a 1996 neon it is doing the same thing. I got the ignition coil replaced, didnt work. a complete tune up, didnt work. recently had the throttle body cleaned, didnt work. i think
same anywhere... easy... Ignition is always throwing a positive shock to the dizzy... (have youe ver opened a dizz? it has carbons) those carbon thingies... are used to connect the electricity from the coil to the tip of the spark plug... where electricity is produced to create a reaction with the gas that is pumped through the valves.
It could several things. Work from the spark plug, to the plug wire, to the coil until you find the culprit. If the coil is good then it could be the ignition module. The coil is the most likely problem but the plug or plug wire would be the preffered problem.
you can work part time or full time it doesn't really matter
