Yes, because a bad coil will not allow the engine to run. But if the engine is running then the coil has nothing to do with the alternator charging the battery.

Opel corsa battery problems?

Check that alternator is charging battery properly and change battery to see if you still getting same issues. It can also be a leak in your car radio, burnt alternator diode, or a shorted coil in the central locking system or windows.


You have replaced the battery and your car started right up one time and now just clicking when you turn it over?

The alternator is not charging the battery, therefore, the coil is getting it's charge only from the battery.


What is wrong with a 1992 Acura Integra when it won't crank?

There are a lot of things that could be wrong. If you hear a clicking noise, it could be: -the alternator isn't charging the battery so it won't have the power to at least turn over -the battery is dead from other reasons than the alternator -wiring is grounded out somewhere along the ignition wiring -bad ignition switch -bad relay -bad fuse -ignition coil is defective -distributor cap is defective -rotor needs to be replaced ....sorry there are a million reasons....try check the battery and alternator and go from there...


Will an alternator stop your car from starting?

while i was driving my car shuts off at nite while the lights are on, and i got it started back up and shuts off and comes back on ******************************************************** If you have a bad alternator it can cause starting problems. More likely because you were driving and not charging the battery, while draining it. The alternator re-charges while you drive. When you turned it off & came back the next day there was not enough juice.

What charges the car battery in your car?

Actually the charging mechanism in an automobile is the alternator, and it works whether the wheels are moving or not. The alternator is one of the parts in the engine compartment that have a drive belt. These are the belts that turn the cooling fan for most cars, and for that reason the belts are commonly known as "fan belts". Most new cars have what is known as a serpentine fan belt, that turns more than one part of the car, the alternator being one of the parts being turned. While the engine is running the alternator is putting out a charge that continually charges the coil and other ignition systems along with the cars battery. When the alternator fails the car will run until the battery is drained of it's charge, and that is when you have a dead battery usually.


Replaced battery and alternator on 97 mercury sable and it keeps stalling what is the problem?

Idle air control? Fuel pump? Coil?


I have a cbr 125r have just had a new battery relaced but has already gone flat. Could this be affected by a faulty ignition coil?

More likely a charging fault. Check stator, rectifier and regulator. A faulty ignition coil would cause misfire, scant acceleration and lumpy idle.


How A Battery Charging Pad Works?

One of the newest ways to recharge a mobile device or a battery is to use a battery charging pad, although it might not be obvious how it actually works. Basically, a battery charging pad creates an electromagnetic field that is oscillating at a specific frequency. The device or battery on top of the pad has a small coil inside that is attuned to this frequency, and generates electricity when exposed to the field the pad is generating. Using this method makes it possible to charge a battery without requiring it to be physically plugged into an outlet.
