Can your ignition coil stop your car from running while driving?

The coil boosts the 12 volts from your battery to tens of thousands of volts for your spark plugs, if it stops working, the car stops working. It however is controlled by your engine control module using input from things like the crankshaft position sensor. Find the coil pack, there will be thick wires going to each cylinder and several small connectors. Make sure they are all tight, but not while the engine is running, those tens of thousands of volts will sting you.


Should you have voltage going to your coil when the ignition is in the on position. If you dont what is the probable cause.?

In my experience you must have voltage to the coil...it must be energized to sustain the engine current to work properly. this requires to have current from the ignition to the engine system. If there is no signs of current-voltage with the ignition ON - more likely it is interrupted at the switch. You may trace continuity on wires from the coil to the switch. check the fuse block to insure that no fuses are bad. You may fing a book on the used books store and locate the diagrams...you may search the net...they are there....keep an eye in the color code to ID the wires -they go from the engine compartment to the inside of the unit...I am assuming the that engine is not running. I am in Texas.

Will coil break down when engine gets hot?

No it won't.Inside the coil are a lot of copper wires all insulated from each other. If this insulation fails and the wires inside touch...the coil stops working. The coil can be detached and tested using a ohmmeter. The leads are placed on the outside prongs of the coil, and the resistance is tested. The coil should show a resistance somewhere between 0.75 and 0.85 ohms.
