Yes, coil packs can cause engine shutdowns. They are responsible for delivering the electrical spark to the engine's spark plugs, and if a coil pack fails, it can lead to misfires or a complete loss of ignition in one or more cylinders. This can result in rough running, reduced power, or stalling of the engine. If multiple coil packs fail, it may lead to a total engine shutdown.

Does bad coil packs keep fuel pressure down?

Bad coil packs do not directly affect fuel pressure, as they are responsible for igniting the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinders rather than managing fuel flow. However, faulty coil packs can lead to misfires, which may cause incomplete combustion and result in poor engine performance. This can indirectly affect engine efficiency, potentially leading to a perception of reduced power or responsiveness, but it won't lower the actual fuel pressure in the fuel system.


Where is coil in trailblazer?

The fully electronic ignition of the 4200 vortec LL8 Inline 6 cylinder engine does not use a coil. It in fact uses coil packs located over each individual spark plug. The wires can be seen on the top of the engine where they attach to the coil packs. The coil packs are held in place by long thin bolts that reach down to the cylinder head. Once removed they can be pulled off and the spark plugs can be accessed. www.trailvoy.com All the answers for your Trailblazer from true enthusiasts.
