What is an Ignition Coil and Its Role in Your Vehicle?
The ignition coil takes the low voltage from the battery and turns it into the high voltage needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine’s cylinders. In other words, the ignition coil will generate the voltage that allows the spark plugs to generate the sparks needed to ignite the fuel mixture.
If the ignition coil is faulty it can cause misfires, poor engine performance, and difficulty starting your car. Other common symptoms are reduced power, unusual vibrations, and a check engine light. Ignition coils can fail for many reasons:
- Age and Wear: Older cars are more prone to ignition coil failure as everything wears out over time.
- Heat and Vibration: Too much heat and engine vibration can damage the ignition coil and cause it to fail early.
- Oil or moisture: Oil leaks or moisture can get into the ignition coil and cause problems.
- Faulty Spark Plugs: Worn-out spark plugs can overwork the ignition coil and cause it to overheat and fail.
- Electrical Issues: Power surges or electrical problems in the vehicle’s electrical system can damage the ignition coil.
