Ignition coils are very rugged and reliable, but can fail for a variety of reasons. Heat and vibration can damage the coil's windings and insulation causing shorts or opens in the primary or secondary windings. But the number one killer of ignition coils is voltage overload caused by bad spark plugs or plug wires. So the answer to your question is yes. Do regular tune ups

Why does 95 Honda civic distributor is not giving any fire?

It could be your ignition coil, which is located inside of your distributor cap. Supposedly, the ignition coils in our civics are poor design and lack providing enough power. I have a 95 civic LX, I gave my car a much needed tune-up. My car ran for 5 minutes and just died.The coil just went out. The coil itself is about 80. They also make external ignition coils and modified distributor caps to by pass the internal coil for about 100

Start with a basic tune up including ignition wires. If the problem persists you need to check into how good your cap and rotor are. If the car is a coil pack design rather than distributor, failed coils are common.
