A tachometer measures engine RPM (revolutions per minute) and can work with the ignition coil by detecting the electrical pulses generated when the coil fires. Each time the ignition coil generates a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a cylinder, it produces a voltage signal. The tachometer counts these signals over a specific time period and converts them into RPM readings, providing real-time information about the engine's speed. This method is commonly used in gasoline engines where the ignition coil fires with each engine cycle.
No, you cannot use any ignition coil with any vehicle. Ignition coils are designed to work with specific engine configurations and electrical requirements, which vary by make and model. Using an incompatible ignition coil can lead to poor engine performance, misfires, or even damage to the ignition system. It's essential to select a coil that matches the specifications of your vehicle's engine.
On my Dodge it was the connection pluging into the coil some times I have to wiggle the plugin from the bottom seems to work everytime.
Here is a photo of the ignition coil. It is in the engine compartment against the fire wall. if you find the distributor with 4 wires going to the spark plugs, follow the distributor center wire which plugs into the ignition coil. A new coil is about $150. Good Luck. Sorry, the photo didn't work. Search at "http://www.gprparts.com/OEMParts/vw.asp" for a 1997 Jetta igition coil to see the photo
Yes, a faulty ignition coil can contribute to engine overheating. If the ignition coil is malfunctioning, it may lead to inefficient fuel combustion, causing the engine to work harder and generate excess heat. Additionally, if the coil is short-circuited or overheating itself, it may raise the overall temperature of the engine components. However, while ignition coil issues can be a factor, overheating is usually caused by a combination of factors, including coolant system failures or other engine problems.
A coil pack on a Nissan Murano functions as part of the ignition system, providing the necessary electrical spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. Each coil pack typically contains multiple ignition coils, with one coil serving each cylinder. When the engine control unit (ECU) sends a signal, the coil converts the battery's low voltage to a high voltage, allowing the spark plug to create a spark at the appropriate time during the combustion cycle. This process ensures efficient engine performance and helps maintain emissions standards.
A bad ignition coil can cause your 1987 Acura tachometer to quit working. A bad tachometer cable or ground wire can also cause it to quit working.
I believe is 12 to 14 volts.
To wire a 12-volt coil, connect one terminal to the ignition switch's "hot" terminal and the other terminal to the distributor in the ignition system. Make sure the coil is grounded properly for it to work effectively in the circuit. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or a wiring diagram for your specific vehicle to ensure proper installation.
In a 2002 Toyota Prius, the ignition coils are located on top of each cylinder head, integrated with the spark plugs. To access them, you'll need to remove the engine cover and the necessary components that obstruct access to the ignition coils. Each coil is mounted directly above its corresponding spark plug. Make sure to disconnect the battery before attempting any work on the ignition system.
when the hall effect and ignition module are good, the injectors and coil no work maybe this sensor is bad
AnswerI'm not sure if your car has a crankshaft angle sensor. If it does and it is bad,your ignition will not work. Try having a shop look at it and tell them what you have replaced.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This has happened to me twice now. The first time was the box on the drivers side, on the wall. It was not fully placed against the wall and wasn't getting ground. The second time, which was just recently, my ignition coil went out. Luckily, the ignition coils only run about $45 to replace.
