Default Re: Ignition coil

It will get very expensive replacing parts randomly. Check for spark as described here, and also listen for whether the fuel pump primes for 2 seconds (low humming sound in rear) when the key is turned to ON(II).

If you lack spark, have the igniter unit in the distributor tested. If the pump doesn't prime, then check the main relay.

Is the CEL on?
