Hi, this is the 3rd time I am changing ignition coil on my Nissan micra k13, on cylinder 2. Do you suspect clogged fuel injector can cause ignition coil to go bad?
if the fuel injector is clogged, chances are you just need to replace the injector, no need to buy a new coil. Ignition coils last a very long time. Have the injector tested.
I drove my CLS55 AMG up to 220k miles on original coils when I sold it. Good quality coils don’t fail because there is nothing to fail except over current or short
Hi , thanks for this video. I'm having radiator issue on my Toyota Camry 04, its leaking always, it leakes more whenever i put on the AC for like an hour and this causes the car's temperature to sky rocket.... But as son as i fill in water to cool the engine down, next thing one of the ignition coil is bad, it has happened 3x and i have replaced the coil 3x as well. So my question is this, does that mean overheating is affecting the ignition coil??
Hi, Yes, it's likely that the overheating caused by the radiator leak is affecting your ignition coils. When the engine overheats, it can cause various components, including the ignition coils, to fail due to the excessive heat. Continuously replacing coils without addressing the root cause, the radiator leak and overheating, will likely lead to more failures. It's important to fix the radiator leak and ensure the cooling system is functioning properly to prevent further damage to your engine and its components. If you need a temporary fix get a quality radiator stop leak but this is for temporary at the end you will need to get the radiator replaced. I hope this helped
Hi, Honest Mechanic, I have question, Pls answer. I have Nissan Sentra 2013 Model, automatic transmission. currently my vehicle is giving jerk. This jerks happens only during traffic time when I need to accelerate and brake many times, after congestion is over when I speedup my car jerks. The same does not happen during the low traffic. What is the problem. Is it gear/transmission issue or miss fire issue.
Hello! Given the specific circumstances you mentioned (occurring mainly during traffic and acceleration), I would first recommend checking the transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid is low or looks dirty/burnt, it may need to be refilled or replaced. If the transmission fluid is in good condition, then the next step would be to check for any engine-related issues, like spark plugs or ignition system components. However, due to the complexity of modern vehicles, it's always a good idea to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue, as they can provide a more accurate assessment using diagnostic tools and their expertise. They can check for any error codes that might be stored in the car's computer system, which can offer more precise clues to the problem. Remember, regular maintenance is key to ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly, so keeping up with scheduled services is always beneficial.
Thank you for reply, I have changed the Transmission fluid before. I am changing the as per Nissan guidance after 80K kms. Many mechanics even without checking say this as transmission problem and need to change the gear which is costing a lot.
Wow! How many times of the same clip pulling out #2 coil 😂. Perhaps the excessive gap of the Spark Plug at 100k miles correlate to the same time of Coil failure. Perhaps a good Prevention procedure would to regap your plugs every 50k miles.
I agree, both of these can last a long time, however, in general most manufactures recommend changing the ign coils at least after 100k miles, but from my experience they can go many more miles. Thanks for the input

Can an issue with the catalytic converter affect ignition coil wear?

Haha good spot!
most ign coils do 500,000-1000000kms,as do O2 sensors
I agree, both of these can last a long time, however, in general most manufactures recommend changing the ign coils at least after 100k miles, but from my experience they can go many more miles. Thanks for the input

ESP they fail if you have your ignition coil upside down like in the pic
haha. great spot but that is a spark plug.
my corolla 1zrfe every 3 or 4000 kms one coil goes bad
