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.
you could have a bad coil. no power to the coil or possiballya bad cap and/ or rotor bug
Yes it would, but the engine will still rotate but just will not start
An ignition coil in a Chevy may keep burning out due to several factors, including electrical issues such as a short circuit or faulty wiring, which can cause excessive current draw. Additionally, overheating from prolonged use or poor ventilation can lead to premature failure. Other potential causes include a failing ignition control module or problems with the spark plugs, which can place additional strain on the coil. Regular maintenance and diagnostics can help identify and resolve these underlying issues.
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.
