Ignition coil question
carpmart - 27/5/10 at 09:09 PM

Hi Chaps

Can you tell me if an ignition coil can just become less effective with age and deliver only enough 'umph' for a smaller spark(?) or do they just stop working?

I've got a strange miss fire but it seems to not be on one pot more a general lack of power!

Thanks

I wouldn't have thought so, is it a points based system, if it is maybe the king ht lead or rotor arm or dizzy cap would have been more likely.

Cheers

Rich

I'm off J9 M1 and I have a few coils spare as I've just gone EDIS. You're welcome to them.

Thanks for the kind offer! I wouldn't mind one just to see if it solves my problem!

I'll ping you over a u2u.
