Do all 4 ignition coils need to be replaced when one fails?
1 Answers
No, only the damaged one needs replacement. Here's relevant information about automotive ignition coils: 1. Working principle: The automotive high-voltage coil (commonly called ignition coil) is one of the core components in gasoline engine ignition systems. To ignite the air-fuel mixture in engine cylinders, ignition energy is required, and the ignition coil serves as the medium to provide this energy, ultimately delivering spark through the spark plug. 2. Precautions: Avoid exposing ignition coils to moisture or excessive heat. Don't turn on the ignition switch when the engine isn't running. Regularly inspect and clean ignition coils to prevent short circuits. There's no fixed replacement interval for ignition coils - they don't need replacement as long as they function properly, with a typical service life exceeding 100,000 kilometers.
