What Is an Ignition Coil and Why Is It Important?
The ignition coil is a key component of your engine’s ignition system. Its main job is to convert the low voltage from your car’s battery into the high voltage needed to create a powerful spark at the spark plugs. This spark ignites the air-fuel mixture inside the engine cylinders and keeps your vehicle running.
Without a functioning ignition coil, the engine may:
-
Fail to start
-
Misfire under load or acceleration
-
Run rough or uneven
-
Burn more fuel than necessary
-
Cause your check engine light to activate
In some vehicles, each cylinder has its own ignition coil, while others use a single coil to power multiple spark plugs. Either way, ignition coil failure can severely impact engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Signs You Need Ignition Coil Replacement
Recognizing the symptoms of a failing ignition coil can help prevent further engine damage. Here are common warning signs to look out for:
-
Engine misfiring or shaking while idling or accelerating
-
Difficulty starting your vehicle, especially in cold weather
-
Decreased fuel economy or sudden drops in MPG
-
Loss of power under acceleration or uphill driving
-
Backfiring or loud popping noises from the exhaust
-
Check engine light illuminated, often with misfire-related codes
-
Unusual exhaust emissions or increased tailpipe smoke
If you're experiencing any of these issues in or around Seaside, bring your car to Green Machine Automotive for a full diagnostic. We’ll determine whether the issue is with a single coil, multiple coils, or related components like spark plugs or ignition wires.
