If it's bad it will not start. You should also check the module that's in the distributor first.
Hey Tia== Make sure they are replacing it with the correct coil. Then have them check the voltag going to the coil . It should be about 8 NOT 12volts. It has a resistance wire cutting down the voltage. GoodluckJoe
If you do not have a key the coil is not going to spark.
is just one of so many problems. bad batterys from chevy. bad bcm's and ignitions keep you from starting too!
There are several things that can keep a Chevy Tahoe from starting including the starter being bad, a dead battery, an alternator, or a fuel pump.
It sure will if it's bad.
From a cold start, yes it can.
This car is computer controlled, and assuming it has the Chevy 305 it is also fuel injected. There is probably a problem in the computer controls causing it not to idle. Do not attempt to adjust idle, as it will not fix it, and may cause other issues when the innitial problem is diagnosed and repaired.
The starter solenoid is bad.
Yes it would, but the engine will still rotate but just will not start
you could have a bad coil. no power to the coil or possiballya bad cap and/ or rotor bug
Yes if it had one, however it uses a pick up coil inside the distributer
The ignition only needs 12 volts for starting. You`re wiring harness has a resistance wire or ballast resistor to drop the voltage to keep the ignition coil from burning up.
