Auto Repair Denver: Ignition Coil Replacement
Ready for a smooth drive with a new ignition coil? When your car starts to stutter or stalls, it may be time to replace your vehicle's ignition coil. Engine misfires can also signal ignition coil problems. So if your vehicle exhibits any of the above symptoms, or its computer illuminated the check engine light, bring it to our Denver auto repair shop, and after our diagnostician confirms the issue, we can perform ignition coil replacement and get your car back on the road – performing at its best.
What is an Ignition Coil and Its Role in Your Vehicle?
The ignition coil is a part that plays a big role in your vehicle’s operation. It takes the low voltage from the battery and turns it into the high voltage needed for the spark plug to generate sparks that ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine’s cylinder.
Properly working ignition coils provide smooth engine performance, excellent fuel economy, and reliable starting power. A faulty or damaged ignition coil (or multiple coils failing) can cause misfires, poor engine performance, and rough idle. Common symptoms also include reduced power, unusual vibrations, and a check engine light being illuminated. If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these symptoms, it is best to take it to a trusted mechanic for diagnosis and repairs.
Common Causes of Ignition Coil Failure
Ignition coils can fail for many reasons, the most common one being age - wear due to age is probably the number one reason for ignition coil failure – time takes its toll. Faulty spark plugs can overwork ignition coils and cause premature ignition coil failure as well, and electrical issues, like a voltage spike due to a failing alternator, could also damage an ignition coil. But whatever the reason, addressing ignition coil issues right away means your car will run well, and it will avoid further damage.
