Can You Drive with a Faulty Ignition Coil?
1 Answers
You cannot drive with a faulty ignition coil. A problematic ignition coil can cause cylinder misfire, leading to minor issues such as car shaking, weak acceleration, and unstable idling. Additionally, when a cylinder misfires, the air-fuel mixture in that cylinder fails to ignite and is expelled through the exhaust pipe, increasing fuel consumption and carbon buildup, which shortens the engine's lifespan. The steps to replace an ignition coil are: 1. Open the ignition coil cover on top of the engine and use a five-point wrench to remove the ignition coil mounting screws; 2. Disconnect the ignition coil power plug, gently pry it loose with a screwdriver, and remove the ignition coil; 3. Install the new ignition coil, tighten the screws, and reconnect the power plug.
