Once upon a time, there was only one type of ignition system. It used a distributor, points, a coil, and was subject to significant wear and tear. Then came the electronic ignition, which replaced...
Ignition coils operate in a very similar fashion to a transformer; with a 12-volt power source that produces output current simultaneously to an input current that’s being applied. By creating an efficient magnetic field,...
P2325 code definition The P2325 code being stored means that an ignition coil (or more than one) experienced problems with its primary or secondary circuit. What the P2325 code means...
P2310 code definition The P2310 code indicates a problem with one or more ignition coils on the engine. What the P2310 code means The P2310 code indicates that one or...
Timing – it has a couple of different meanings when applied to your car’s engine. One of the most critical is ignition timing (not to be confused with engine timing). Ignition timing refers...
Ignition coils can be individually replaced without concern as to engine operation however fuel injectors are a different matter. If you replace one fuel injector, the other 7 fuel injectors should be removed from the fuel rail and professionally cleaned....
There is a problem on the primary side of the ignition circuit. If your distributor was not replaced and contains a Hall effect pick-up assembly that can be tested using a self powered “indicator light” that is made for this...
The coils on your vehicle are all housed together in a carrier assembly. If two of the four coils aren't producing spark, there's a good chance the carrier is to blame. A professional, such as one from YourMechanic, can repair...

Changing spark plugs at 46000 isn't necessarily a bad idea, but mostly I say that because it will keep them from seizing to the cylinder head. Most late model cars like yours can run a set of plugs for longer...
There is a possibility that a coil can fail close to the same time as each other but not likely. The computer will set a code for each failed coil or cylinder. If a different coil fails then you will...
You will need to have the ignition system tested to look at the misfire data to find the exact cylinder coil that is causing the code. Misfire data in the computer memory will show the cylinder that is misfiring and...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The technician's do not have the ability to create proper quotes due to the pricing of labor and parts being dependent on your location. With that being said, I can share some of the...
Hello. I would first determine why the coils melted whether it was from an overheat or something else. In some cases the cylinder head will need to be replaced. I would get some help from an engine specialist to be...
Hello, and thank you for writing in. Getting a second opinion is always a good idea. Replacing the spark plugs is a very necessary part of maintenance that is often overlooked. It is never a bad idea to replace your...
You may have ignition coils that are giving out a weak spark and or failing intermittently causing the misfire. Also a system that is running lean may cause random misfires. have the coils checked for spark output after engine is...
Hi there - basic testing of ignition coils can be done with a volt meter, checking for shorts or a specified level of resistance (measured in ohms) in the coil windings. Failing coils require an oscilloscope (or similar testing tool)...
Hi there - misfires can be caused by worn spark plugs, failing coils, or injectors dumping too much (or no) fuel into a cylinder, causing a misfire. Yes, this could be a failing coil. Swap the cylinder #3 coil with...
The noise could be either an ignition coil misfiring and causing the engine to stall on a cylinder making the engine sputter or the engine is sputtering with an injector that is sticking until it get hot as it maybe...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The first two components to look at are the distributor and the coil. If you have a spark tester, test light, or voltmeter, you can measure the power supply along the circuit and find...
Hi there. Check the spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the ignition coils and see if they are working. Check for spark on all of the cylinders and see if the spark is good. If the spark is good, then...
Hi there. To determine if the ignition coils need to be replaced, remove one park plug wire at a time and hook it up to a spark tester gauge and set the gauge to 10 thousands gap and increase it...
Hi there. If your engine is stalling out on you and the shop has said that the issue is your ignition coils, try checking the coils and see if there is a spark coming out of them by removing the...
The best ignition coils for your vehicle are the OEM Ford (dealer supplied) coils. There is no distinction between a regular versus heavy duty coil. If you elect to use an aftermarket coil, pick a reputable name brand from a...
