Don’t recoil in shock—just identify which coil this is!
Correct Incorrect A spark plug requires between 20,000 and 30,000 volts of electricity to create the necessary spark for igniting the fuel. The ignition coil takes power from the battery and channels it to the spark plug. Without a spark, there’s no ignition. When the ignition coil malfunctions, it disrupts the entire engine cycle, causing poor engine performance or complete failure.
