Probably not. But it could be caused by a "pickup coil", rotor, distributor cap, loose connection... lots of other possibilities. I don't see how. Backfiring is usually caused by improper timing. When a coil goes bad it usually just quits.
A malfunctioning coil pack can cause your 2001 Pontiac Grand Am to backfire. The more likely cause is a faulty fuel injector.
Either the coil is bad or the ignition control module is bad.I would think the coil is faulty.
...could be allot of reasons why you may not be getting spark, here are some: # no power to ignition coil. faulty ignition. # faulty distributer cap, rotor. # faulty ignition module. # check for start signal from ecm. ...and there is a few more.
More likely a charging fault. Check stator, rectifier and regulator. A faulty ignition coil would cause misfire, scant acceleration and lumpy idle.
There are 5 symptoms of ignition coil failure. They are: backfiring, starting problems, fuel economy is off (less millage per mile), engine misfiring, and vehicle stalling.
yes
Only if a faulty coil is causing a misfire. A faulty coil can be diagnosed easily by connecting an oscilloscope and looking at the waveforms.
On a high energy ignition, possible problems include: Faulty keyswitch, faulty wiring or connectors, faulty pickup inside the distributor, faulty electrical condenser, if it has points (depends on the type of HEI) the points could be bad, faulty coil or faulty HEI control module. You will need to identify which component has failed.
You didn't mention whether you've changed the coil wire itself. If it's faulty, you'll get no spark anywhere. Also, the power supply to the coil or module could be at fault.
Ignition coil could be damaged,a break in its power wire most likely the green w a black stripe,faulty computer,faulty distributer cap or rotor
Check power to ignition switch with ignition turned on check the on position at back of barrel for power for starters, EA falcons have a thick film module which i think is located in the dizzy, which if faulty could burn a coil out.. good luck
Is there gas in it? Fuel tank empty . Fault in the carburetor and fuel injection system . Battery terminals connections loose or corroded , battery discharged ( eng rotates slowly ) . Fuel pump faulty . Excessive moisture on , or damage to ignition components . Worn, faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs , Broken ,loose or disconnected wiring in the starting circuit , ignition coil or faulty coil . Low cylinder compression , Faulty distributor pick-up coil or ignition module ?
