Where is the ignition coil located in a Toyota Prado?
1 Answers
Toyota Prado's ignition coil is located in the fuse box in the front engine compartment. The steps for removing and installing the ignition coil are as follows: 1. Open the ignition coil cover on top of the engine, and use a pentagon wrench to remove the ignition coil fixing screws. 2. Disconnect the ignition coil power plug, gently pry it up with a screwdriver, and remove the ignition coil. 3. Install the new ignition coil and tighten the screws, then reconnect the power plug and cover the top panel. The reasons why the Toyota Prado's ignition coil may fail to ignite are as follows: 1. The thermal effect of current damages the coil insulation inside the ignition coil. 2. The engine overheats, causing the coil insulation paint to melt and fail. 3. Excessive spark plug electrode gap increases the load on the ignition coil, causing the high-voltage coil to break down, resulting in a short circuit or open circuit. 4. A broken high-voltage wire leaves the generated high-voltage electricity with no path to flow, easily causing the high-voltage coil to break down.
