Troubleshooting
Engine misfires or runs rough
Check all wiring connections to the coil. Ensure the spark plug wires are properly seated on the coil and spark plugs. Inspect spark plug wires for damage or excessive resistance.
No spark at spark plugs
Verify power supply to the coil. Check the coil's primary and secondary resistance against specifications. Ensure the ignition control module is functioning correctly if used.
Coil overheating
Ensure proper mounting and airflow around the coil. Check for excessive resistance in the ignition circuit. Confirm the coil is correctly matched to the vehicle's ignition system.
Difficulty starting engine
Confirm a strong, consistent spark. Check fuel delivery and air intake systems. Ensure all ignition components are properly connected and functioning.
