Symptoms of bad ignition coil

When an ignition coil fails, it can no longer transform the low voltage from the battery to the required high voltage needed to create sparks. If the ignition coil fails in transforming low power to high voltage, the spark plugs will generate fewer sparks or none at all. Fewer sparks directly result in fewer running cylinders and less power from your engine. If the spark plugs no longer spark at all, the engine is unable to start. It’s best that if the ignition coil fails, to replace it as quickly as possible. This is also recommended when driving with fewer cylinders than normal because some don’t fire. This is really bad for your car, which may result in a failing engine. You can recognise a failing ignition coil by a number of issues, including backfiring, starting problems, a jerky ride or worsening fuel economy. If this sounds familiar, find the replacement you need at Winparts UK.

Ignition coil & coil pack replacement

Modern cars are equipped with a coil pack. A coil pack is directly mounted to the spark plugs. As a result, the distance that the spark needs to travel is very limited, making it way more effective. Changing moreover is very easy. Disconnect the coil pack and remove it. You can also easily place a new one at the spark plugs and connect it again. With a DIS ignition coil the method of replacing works slightly different. A DIS often contains four connection cables. Please remove these carefully. The most important thing is that the cables end up exactly the same as they were. To ensure that this happens, we recommend marking the cables with stickers or a marking pen. If the cables are not in the right location, there is a chance that the car will not run or will run poorly. Ignition coil replacement usually takes half an hour to an hour. Certainly, something you can do yourself.

Ignition coil

The ignition coil or a spark coil, is a car part that ensures that the spark plugs can generate an electric spark. The ignition coil gets its power through the ignition leads from the battery, and is actually a kind of transformer. The high voltage, low current transformer’s job is to convert 12V to the 20 or 30 thousand volts required to send a surge of electricity to the spark plugs which initiate fuel combustion. The engine will eventually start running because of these sparks. If the ignition coil does not longer properly work or fails altogether, replace it as soon as possible. You can easily order a new one at Winparts. It’s here that you have a choice from a wide range of brands such as FEBI, Beru, NGK, KW and Bosch.
