The car will loose a lot of power and will cough and splutter. It may start and be able to be driven however it will be difficult to idle. It will feel as if a spark plug has stopped working.
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.
they a use a coil over plug type ingnition, each plug has its own small coil that sits right on top
No. On "conventional" ignition systems, i.e., those with typically a single ignition coil and a distributor with distributor cap, the spark plug boot is that portion of the individual ignition wire, running to each spark plug, that terminated the ignition wire at the spark plug and provides the wire's electrical connection to the spark plug. In newer, "plug on coil" systems that do not utilize a distributor and wires, and that are characterized by having an individual ignition coil mounted atop each spark plug, the boot is that portion of the ignition coil that pushes down over and on to the spark plug. Some few designs use a replaceable boot. Most incorporate the boot into the coil assembly.
It has what is called coil on plug style ignition sys. Each spark plug has its own individual coil right on top of the plug.
Each spark plug has it's own ignition coil, they are on the spark plug itself. Unplug the ignition coil connector, remove the bolt holding the coil in place, pull the coil off of the spark plug and out of the valve cover. Install the new coil.
The 3.2L has an ignition coil on each spark plug.
each spark plug has its own ignition coil on top of the plug, like many current cars.
There is no distributor. The ignition system is coil on plug type. Each plug has its own coil.
there is a coil on each plug
Where all the wires plug into. That is the ignition coil. The ignition coil is inside the distributor behind the cap. Remove the distributor cap screws, remove the cap and you will see the coil.
Is this a conventional coil, a hei coil, or a coil over each plug?? need more info, but is has a wire, hold approximately 1/4 inch from ground and see if archs, if High Energy coil, hold plug wire about 1/4 in from ground and see if fires, if coil over plug individualy, not sure how to check them. good luck
Check following symptoms: Weak spark? dirty plugs? old plug wires? bad ignition coil?
