How do I fix a faulty ignition coil on my car?

Answer by  Amber40 (24961)

Coils are typically sealed electrically unit so the can't be rebuilt. This means that you will need to replace. Simply unplug and unbolt the old one. Then install the new one in it's place.

You need to start by removing the plastic engine cover that is on the motor from the factory. You would then need to make sure the car is off and the battery disconnected. Then unscrew the faulty coil and replace with new one.

You don't fix ignition coils, you replace them. Follow your spark plug wires to the coil (they usually are bolted on the side of the engine), unbolt them and replace with new ones. Just make sure that you connect the spark plug wires in the same order that you removed them.
