Q: Can ignition coils be rotated in a dodge magnum?

asked by on March 08, 2017

The mechanic said the number5 coil was misfiring so he rotated the coils. The car will work for a while then turn off. I then have to wait about 25 minutes and it'll turn on again. Can you give me an idea of what's going on ?

My car has 213224 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
