Q: If water is in the ignition coil should I replace the coil?

asked by on February 02, 2017

I have changed a coil bc it was saying misfire on that cylinder & it's still doing the same thing, so I took coil #3 out & it had water all in it..does that mean that coil is bad also.

My car has 123000 miles.
