Swap it with a known good coil. Give us the year, make, model and engine info for more info.
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.
...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.
Either the coil is bad or the ignition control module is bad.I would think the coil is faulty.
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 ?
More likely a charging fault. Check stator, rectifier and regulator. A faulty ignition coil would cause misfire, scant acceleration and lumpy idle.
Faulty rotor button? Tune up recommended Faulty ignition coil? Crank sensor malfunction?
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.
A faulty ignition coil or module can cause misfiring.
1.Faulty ignition coil 2.Ignition points(if so equiped) are not opening or closing properly. 3.Faulty condenser 4. Interuption of voltage from primary ignition feed from starter switch. 5. Hot wire to batt. side of coil originating from hi-drain source such as starter terminal. 6.Faulty rotor,rotor cap, coil to rotor cap wire and or terminals.7. Moisture in cap and or terminals..........for starters.......no pun intended
Have vehicle scanned to determine which coil is bad
Symptoms of a faulty ignition coil are power to the coil checked with a multi-meter and no power out checked by pulling any of the spark plugs, placing it back int the spark plug cap, grounding out the end of the spark plug against metal while you have someone turn the motor over lack of spark would indicate no power from coil. You can also check the output side of the coil with a multimeter but note that your reading will jump instead of staying constant.
