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...
In order to replace all 6 ignition coils you will need to have the upper intake removed. The labor is 2.2 hours labor plus parts needed like upper intake gasket seal and the ignition coils.
Hello, thank you for writing in. The vehicle may be having issues with the ignition module or the fuel pump. Both are good assumptions to work with for the moment. The ignition module is typically mounted to the firewall or...
I have seen where the electrical connectors to the ignition coils fall apart and will intermittently lose connection and short out. Have the connectors checked to see if they are bad and need repaired or replaced. As far as the...
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. The voltages at the coils will vary. I would need to know what codes you are getting to be able to know what testing needs to be done. If you are getting a voltage code then most 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...
Check the spark plugs and see if there is park on them as the engine is cranked over. If there is spark, then the ignition coils is working. Check the fuel injectors and see if they are getting fuel to...
Hi there - the coil packs on this model have a design issue, and use of OEM parts, and great care in installation is required. I recommend a engine misfire inspection performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one...
The vehicle you are looking at has six individual coils (aka, "coil packs", or "coil on plug") one for each of the six spark plugs on the engine. These are frankly mundane devices and if only one is faulty, if...
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. It sounds like the ignition coil has failed causing the no spark issue. The secondary circuit within the ignition coil has either burned up or shorted out. I recommend replacing the ignition coil. If you need further assistance...
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...
