A coil is what gives you spark it distributes the power to your spark plugs so it would run bad or not at all check for spark.
The coil produces the power for the spark to ignite the fuel/ air mixture in the combustion chamber of the engine . The distributor systematically distributes or places that spark to the spark plugs in the firing order .
Yes as the coil provides the spark or fire to ignite the fuel. Most definitely on a vehicle with one coil. On a vehicle with multiple coils, it may start but miss.
if it is a waste spark ignition, and if they are companion cylinders (changes from vehicle to vehicle and motor to motor, if one and three both have wires running to the same coil, then they are) then chances are you have a bad coil. replace the bad coil and be on your way.
Unplug ignition coils one at a time until you find the one that doesn't effect the rpm's.That's the one that's bad.
Viruses is the bad effect of internet.
If the coil is bad you do not fix it you just replace it with a new one.
If just one cylinder miss fires, that is not the coil. Only if you have a coil on plug engine.
Sounds like the coil is bad on the one side ,need to replace coil .

No.
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem--sounds like one cylinder not firing, perhaps bad coil if Coil on Plug Model or bad piston or valve. May need a compression test to determine
