Coils can go bad due to several factors, including corrosion, dirt buildup, and overheating. Over time, exposure to moisture and contaminants can cause the coil's material to degrade, leading to reduced efficiency or failure. Additionally, excessive heat can damage the coil's insulation or cause it to warp, affecting its performance. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of coils and prevent premature failure.
Yes, they can.Yes, they can.
They could.They could.
Ignition coils can go bad with age. They can also be damaged by a bad alternator putting out improper or unclean voltages.
Ignition coils can go bad from shorts or from age. A coil wire that is leaking can cause a partial short to ground and ruin a coil. Coils can go bad simply with age as well, as heating and cooling over time just wears them out.
A bad coil can damage a converter. If the engine is misfiring, it will cause raw fuel to get into the converter and that can cause failure.
bad fuse,bad coils, bad ignition modual
absolutely
Check the ignition coils. When they go bad the engine runs rough and you lose power.
a '95 riviera does not have a distributor. If you mean the ignition coils, then you probably looking at bad ignition module-located under the coils. Or bad crank sensor.
depends on early or late model. lots of early models will just shut off while driving down the road etc, and never start again. cant rmember right now on late ,mind is on another project, sorry
The first coil is on passenger side by firewall and then go from there.
Yes. If a coil is bad causing one or more cylinders to not fire, this allows raw unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, where it is burned. This can ruin a converter.
