I feel like it should have been obvious but you are the only person to mention the gas smell because of bad ignition coil. I was racking my brain trying to figure out if it was a clogged fuel injector or the coil but that last comment seals the deal hopefully replacing the coil fixes the problem thanks!!
Really loved how direct and easy he put this information I had a hunch on it being my coils what led me here but the way he put the info just about validated what i'm experiencing thanks bro!
OMG thank you for being so "to the point" last thing I wanna hear is a bunch of no-need BS. this was beautiful and helped me know my coils were bad. God bless
You're the best bro, for many reasons, here's a prime example I've watched other videos today pertaining to bad ignition coils and how to troubleshoot them properly and not once has anybody said to simply watch for the rough idle and simply change out each coil pack until the rough idle stops lol, everybody was using multimeters and 20 minute videos blah blah blah you're the best man thank you
You can tell he really enjoys this stuff. I know nothing about cars so I'm glad you are here..lol My car started with the Trac Off light then the Check Engine light came on. I had two readings of cylinder misfire. Yep its hard to accelerate now. This is definitely my problem.
Had this happened to me while on the freeway, going 100 km/h. Sudden loss of power and excessive shaking. Decided to keep driving to the garage (~10km) where they concluded it was indeed the ignition coil (as i suspected). They had to order the part, but once they had it, it was fixed in 20 minutes. Including parts and work, it cost me 165 euro's. It sucks, but compared to other car trouble, this was nothing :).
@@stevenmack9948 and the time for diagnosis is for free? The part itself I'd assume they take 50-60€ for. Installation is really done within 10-15 min, but idk how easy diagnosis is to find the right, if it's just giving an error code for the one to change.
@@l3138 I work as mobile breakdown in UK & could diagnose that in 5 mins & show the member how to fix themselves, you usually only need a 10mm socket, not really a garage job
One problem that is not often mentioned in the many videos I've watched on Ford / Mercury ignition problems. If you replace plugs and coils and other parts, and find your engine light still comes on after a while, or shortly after replacing parts, the real problem is that the main computer needs to be reprogrammed. I spent about 800 dollars replacing plugs and coils twice, mechanics replacing parts, etc. all which did not solve the problem. You may also notice the car jerks when you accelerate, as though you have a transmission problem. The real problem is not the transmission. The main computer has to be reprogrammed. Another symptom is the air conditioner compressor will shut down; you will not have air conditioning. That is to protect the AC compressor. Once you have the main computer reprogrammed, the AC compressor will work. I went to 6 different Ford dealers in Miami / Ft. Lauderdale, and none of the six mentioned a thing about reprogramming the main computer. I was told by several dealers, not knowing about the main computer at that time, that "there's nothing you can do." One Ford dealer had the car a full day, and said I might have to replace the main computer, and that they cant do that , because Ford no longer carries them. I finally found a Ford dealership (Pines Ford) who said they could reprogram the main computer. Regular scanners can't reprogram your computer. It requires a bi-directional scanner, a Ford subscription for the scanner, and someone who knows the procedure required to reprogram. For that reason, IMO, it's best to take it to a Ford dealer who can reprogram the computer, and they can also check to make sure your plugs and coils are all functioning correctly. They can also check for vacuum leaks, vacuum hoses that may need replacing, bad coil connectors, etc. Not cheap, but better than paying a mechanic to replace parts that won't fix the problem.
Disconnect your battery and let the negative and positive terminal lock together for about 20 minutes then connect back to battery. That will reprogram your car.
@@BlackWhite-ru8gm Not saying that will work. What vehicle have you tried that on ? Here's what we know for sure about scanners. The typical low priced scanners, or any NON bidirectional scanner can't be used to reprogram your computer. At best these scanners can tell you if a particular cylinder is misfiring. The most these scanners can do is shut off the engine light, TEMPORARILY. The light will come on again eventually, as soon as the main computer senses that the car is misfiring. None of these scanners can sense a bad wire, or if they do, it may be a bad connection or connector on a particular cylinder. The scanner doesn't say "Faulty connector, Faulty wire," etc. The few truly qualified Ford dealers that will reprogram a computer, Like Pines Ford in Hollywood, FL, have the factory authorized scanners, codes, generally parts and wire connectors, to fully assess ignition problems. Expensive yes, but far less than having a general mechanic replace lots of stuff, and still not be able to reprogram you main computer. If you go to any Ford dealer that tells you your main computer can't be reprogrammed, or that the main computer needs to be replaced, then you may want to find another dealer. Unless someone has damaged the main computer in some way, they generally should be reprogram-able.
Thank you for this. When you said the smell of gas i realized this is what is probably causing my engine to misfire. I’ve been smelling gas for the past week and didn’t think much of it. I got my resonators removed today and the problem started happening. Hopefully it’s just coincidence and the ignition coil is what I need to replace.
You are a very humble man , god bless you now and always. You are very respectful and very descriptive. Thank you so much. Big fan and a new subscriber to your channel
was on my way home from work and barely made it, luckily my mechanic makes midnight repair trips for me. second time in a month this issue occurred. don't smell gas, but a foul gross stench. acceleration is difficult- can't maintain over 40 pushing the max, very rough idle. thanks for the video! went and got all new spark plugs and coil packs today!
Dang! You have a Mechanic that gives midnight repairs?! You are special and you know it! Lol. That's awesome! You definitely need to send him a gift card showing appreciation.

Awesome video. This is the EXACT problem with my vehicle. The smell of gas and a rough idle. Purchased 6 new spark plugs, a coil, and gasket. Putting them on bright and early tomorrow.
straight forward explanation. I recently had this issue but instead of fixing the ignition coil, i changed my spark plugs (which is almost due by the way). not long after the spark plugs replacement, my car was still jerking on low RPM (1,000 - 1,500). after inspection at a proper workshop, they discovered that 2 out of 4 ignition coils were not working properly. Now waiting for the parts to be delivered and hopefuly this will solve the jerking issues.
@@easyautofix yeah, will revert once the replacement is done. On another note, is it worth it to purchase your own OBD device to scan error codes? Just wondering.
@@ernestjion8006 Personally yes for two reasons. 1. Could be an easy fix and if you got time to work on your car, it could save you tons of money. 2. If you want to have an idea of what’s wrong with your car before you go into a mechanic it’s good for that reason as well. It’s an investment in knowledge + application= power.
@@easyautofix much thanks for the reply. WIll definitely look into the pros and cons of it. Anyways keep up the good work mate. Channel like yours is a huge help for idiot like me. Subscribed!
This was what was wrong with my car, but this video talks about the symptoms as if they’ll happen at least a few days before your car breaks down. My car only had low fuel economy before the drive in which it broke down, and only began occasional vibrations about 10 minutes before it broke down(I thought it was a wheel problem). Stopped at a red light and could barely accelerate and car began shaking badly so I pulled over. It’s weird because usually I’m hypersensitive to anything wrong with my car and it’s noises/movements.
I got a used 2011 ford f150 ecoboost and i had replaced spark plugs and a 02 sensor & it would stutter when i tried to pass someone or floored it. And no check engine light would stay on but would blink then go away. I really didn’t want to spend on a new fuel pump so i further investigated, what i did noticed was residue on the tail pipe like carbon build up at the tip. Meaning running to lean or to rich. Boom changed the Coil packs and it worked like a dream. Got me some msd coil packs fpr $365. My opinion is spend $25 more for the msd than the duralast brands and the motorcraft are even more expensive might i add they the same as denso. I also have a oil catch can to protect the intake manifold and turbos from blow by oil. 😎😎😎😎😎
Hello! Thank you for the video. We changed both the spark plugs and the coils yet it doesn’t seem to have fixed the problems. I am experiencing all said symptoms as well as bad gas mileage. Where can I look at next?
Another symptom is the burning of gas, Since the coil is not firing properly excess gas is being used to balance out the test of the engines gas and oil flow. My BMW usually gets 0ver 500 miles per full gas tank. With the bad ignition coil I was getting 396. Rough idle, loss of power, and Engine shaking.
Check engine light is on 3.3 f150 2019, oreily's said number six injector is bad ,rough idle at a red light sluggish taking off. Mainly in the evenings leaving work.
Will small break on the top plastic part ring around the epoxy is fatal and need a new one eventhough it still work? Mine have a break/crack on top when I tried to remove it by a tool. The motor runs fine so should I have to waste money to buy a new coil?
Wow wow wow... Just wow! Dude... I gotta commend you on your excellent diagnosis and the way you explain it Barney style so that anyone can understand it and there's no music blasting or dogs barking in the background so that I can't even hear wth you're saying! You don't have 18 frigg'n minutes of you taking the shit apart. You're just to the point and ya even threw a little comedy in there with the 2nd symptom lol!! Outstanding video! Subscribed 🤘
I have A1 , I smell that fuel long time ago , and then acceleration hole came, I brought it to audi , they said the problem was the brake discs,so I shelled out more than 800 euros for changing brakes discs and for the overhaul. Just a few Kms aways from Audi acceleration hole again. So called them back ,the only thing they can say is we don't see and feel anything. I did a lot of repairs , wheel alignment, changed tires after 2 years everytime, but no one told me about spark plug ,ignition coil , ignition harness problem, although I mentioned it many times to Audi, (my dad and brother are auto mechanics)we had a auto repair shop when I was just little.But what they said they checked and changed it, but same problem every time. My car broke down while on the Express way with my kids with me, the worst day of my life . Appeared on the driving board that Start/stop malfunctioning and engine light was ON. I could not go on, my 12 year old boy helped calling towing companies, he managed to call the police, as he was panicking while I was trying to contact my insurance and my 6 year old seemed agitated but he was kind of not understanding what is happening.Tow truck brought us to Delko a chained mechanical and repair shop in France. The culprit of that broke down was Spark plug, Ignition coil and ignition harness. I will never go back to Audi.Maybe not buying Audi anymore as well. What I want to point here is that, if we smell and feel something with our car , do check , don't wait things might gets worst.
I did not know this. I have a 2014 Town and country van that when I step on the gas it shakes, when I start going up hill it shakes. So I take my foot of the gas and slowly apply gas again. Works, but stutters when you apply force. Do you think this might be caused by the coils?
@@perezknowles9506 I found it in the sensors for the bumper. It was a modual, disonect both side of the sensors and it should go back to mormal. Let me know what happens, maybe you don't have that kind of bumper.
Do bad ignition coils cause the car to drop into neutral from drive when cold idling? No issues once the car is warm. I've already changed the air filter and cleaned the EGR valve
Please check your transmission fluid and make sure 1) you have enough fluid on the dipstick 2) that the fluid doesn’t look contaminated. The ignition coils,air filter, or EGR doesn’t have much to do with your problem but it is still a good thing you have those out of the way now ! Good luck please let me know if this helps!
What causes spark to jump out of the coil hole. Only #2 does it and the other three don’t. Cylinder 2 is misfiring . When you pull out the plug wire, spark jumps out of the coil hole. Help. Installed new coil and still have the same problem. Help
@EasyAutoFix i have a '91 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon = no gas smell, but same symptoms = why when my mechanic replaced the ignition module, it improved slightly imo. QUESTION: would bad ignition coil lend to low (15psi) pressure in engine? Another nearby mechanic shop says he believes it's the floating valves & wants to rebuild/replace engine🙃 The issue came out of the clear blue: car ran fine, came out of a store & was barely able to drive to mechanic - determined to get it running = great car & sentimental😳🙏
Question, I see a little rubber around the sparkplug, i is preventing the sparkplug tool from wrapping around it to get it out. Is there a way to get it out and remove this circular rubber that seems out of place? The rest of the spark plugs and coils don't have this rubber and there is easy access.
The rubber is probably from the spark plug socket that slipped off when the spark plug was replaced previously since it is only on one spark plug. Use a small pick to remove/lift out or remove your spark plug socket rubber insert and see if your socket fits over the spark plug.
Need Help Please. 2000 Acura RL. Replaced ignition coils with TRQ brand. still getting the P1306,1305,1304,1303,1302,1301,P0300 codes, had TRQ send me replacements to make sure they were not bad and still getting the codes. Thoughts?
I have a 2001 Lincoln Town Car, it started running a little rough, then the check engine light came on, I hooked up my scanner and it said, misfire on cylinder #5 , I pulled the coil used a used spark plug and no spark, replaced the coil, cleared the codes no more problem. I doubt all coils will fail at once. Possible, but doubtful.
Hey, quick question so corrosion on the battery terminal can cause my ignition coil to not work properly I do have a lot of corrosion on there. Do you think if I just clean it off it would fix my misfire issue or do I have to change the coil because it’s already damaged

Called a shop said it was the fuel injector but I had the code for the spark plugs and it fixed the problem. SMH almost lost a lot of money!
Hello! Thank you for the video. We changed both the spark plugs and the coils yet it doesn’t seem to have fixed the problems. I am experiencing all said symptoms as well as bad gas mileage. Where can I look at next?
He ain’t lying I liked and subscribed and can leave a dodge demon in the dust !
Love how detailed this video is!!! Thank you ❤️
Very nice, thank you!
Thank you for being brief & systematic in your description.
I appreciate the help my boy, you really helping me narrow down my engine issue 💚💯
and i appreciate you!
Wow I did suscribe and I just got almost 1,000 hp thanks easyautofix
Another symptom is the burning of gas, Since the coil is not firing properly excess gas is being used to balance out the test of the engines gas and oil flow. My BMW usually gets 0ver 500 miles per full gas tank. With the bad ignition coil I was getting 396. Rough idle, loss of power, and Engine shaking.
Great video bro. Precise/Straight to the point 💯
I appreciate you
Soo you need a good battery for your coils to run good right? Or what does a battery do in a car like what’s it’s purpose?
Change your smoke detector battery
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂FRRRR
Shieeet
Awesome thanks! Funny too, I only subscribed because of the pitch
If I replace the plugs and ignition coils in my car, should I also replace the wiring harness that clips onto the ignition coils?
You dont have to necessarily unless there fried
Awesome video! I'm currently in the process of replacing my ignition coils and spark plugs.
Sorry to be random but does your car actually move?
Mine doesn’t move at all so I’d presume I need more than just one ignition coil 🥲
Need another one, these are outstanding.
Goodman! Very nice! Coming soon.
Thank you for simple advice
Thanks perfect that’s the straight up to the point.
Great video I like how you slid that (like) comment into the fix salutation 👍
Very nice, thank you!
Check engine light is on 3.3 f150 2019, oreily's said number six injector is bad ,rough idle at a red light sluggish taking off. Mainly in the evenings leaving work.
Thank you so much when I heard you say you can smell gas I was like oh that’s what’s going on this is a great help thanks
When changing my spark plugs do you think it’ll be a good idea to change the ignition coil?
I liked and subscribed n just saying. I an still here on the side of the road w/o my car starting. But thank you for the detailed slow video
Bro my car has all of the symptoms you mentioned, I need to replace ignition coils and spark plugs
Would you recommend dielectric grease on the coil connectors? Thanks, good and informative.
This was really well explained and written!!!!!!!!!!!!
No bro, you're the greatest. Thanks!
The channel is great,.directly to the point and indicate the lifespan that is so good. Thanks for share the videos. Of course, I subscribed.
Nice video .Subscribed .Ps I had an lpg car years ago and it cooked coil packs .Misfiring and caused the engine temp to go up but always limped home.😅
Very, very, very helpful. Thank you!
This was Rt on time! Gratitude 🙏🏾
My truck does the rough idling. Thank you. No check engine light though.
Sounds good I just ordered a new set. I'll check it out as soon as they come in. Thanks 💯🏁🏁🏁
Will small break on the top plastic part ring around the epoxy is fatal and need a new one eventhough it still work? Mine have a break/crack on top when I tried to remove it by a tool. The motor runs fine so should I have to waste money to buy a new coil?
Wow tnx straight to the point no bs for 1 hrs
How do you know which ignition coil to get?
It is universal?
I have a misfire but without any code or warning lights on dash? Tsi 1.4
Wow wow wow... Just wow! Dude... I gotta commend you on your excellent diagnosis and the way you explain it Barney style so that anyone can understand it and there's no music blasting or dogs barking in the background so that I can't even hear wth you're saying! You don't have 18 frigg'n minutes of you taking the shit apart. You're just to the point and ya even threw a little comedy in there with the 2nd symptom lol!! Outstanding video! Subscribed 🤘
I have A1 , I smell that fuel long time ago , and then acceleration hole came, I brought it to audi , they said the problem was the brake discs,so I shelled out more than 800 euros for changing brakes discs and for the overhaul. Just a few Kms aways from Audi acceleration hole again. So called them back ,the only thing they can say is we don't see and feel anything. I did a lot of repairs , wheel alignment, changed tires after 2 years everytime, but no one told me about spark plug ,ignition coil , ignition harness problem, although I mentioned it many times to Audi, (my dad and brother are auto mechanics)we had a auto repair shop when I was just little.But what they said they checked and changed it, but same problem every time. My car broke down while on the Express way with my kids with me, the worst day of my life . Appeared on the driving board that Start/stop malfunctioning and engine light was ON. I could not go on, my 12 year old boy helped calling towing companies, he managed to call the police, as he was panicking while I was trying to contact my insurance and my 6 year old seemed agitated but he was kind of not understanding what is happening.Tow truck brought us to Delko a chained mechanical and repair shop in France. The culprit of that broke down was Spark plug, Ignition coil and ignition harness. I will never go back to Audi.Maybe not buying Audi anymore as well.
What I want to point here is that, if we smell and feel something with our car , do check , don't wait things might gets worst.
What if I have those symptoms but the smell of gas? Would it still be the ignition coil?
Just now doing this at 181k. Can't wait to see how smooth my V8 will be in about 12 hours 🚚 😉
So how did it go? Did you notice a big difference?
I did not know this. I have a 2014 Town and country van that when I step on the gas it shakes, when I start going up hill it shakes. So I take my foot of the gas and slowly apply gas again. Works, but stutters when you apply force. Do you think this might be caused by the coils?
Did you find out the problem ? I have this exact problem with my car ?
@@perezknowles9506 I found it in the sensors for the bumper. It was a modual, disonect both side of the sensors and it should go back to mormal. Let me know what happens, maybe you don't have that kind of bumper.
Great video one question will this keep my car from starting? I can’t get it to start
Fuel pump can or filter could be sensor to ob2 could tell ya
Wow I have 315,000 miles on my coil on plugs.
What brand?
Hanshin I think they were bought out by Hitachi
Will it affect the battery as well ?
Hi. How about some WHITE SMOKE coming out the rear exhaust? Is this a symptom as well? Thank you.
Thank you. Simple and to the point!
I got 4 out of 5! Just missed out the CEL! My ignition might not that be bad, thats why its not triggering CEL
You can still have a misfire under heavy load hence your coil packs need replaced their cheap and easy to do
Do bad ignition coils cause the car to drop into neutral from drive when cold idling? No issues once the car is warm. I've already changed the air filter and cleaned the EGR valve
Please check your transmission fluid and make sure 1) you have enough fluid on the dipstick 2) that the fluid doesn’t look contaminated. The ignition coils,air filter, or EGR doesn’t have much to do with your problem but it is still a good thing you have those out of the way now ! Good luck please let me know if this helps!
Thanks for the video appreciate your help.
that's mean If ignition coil is bad, will the light on in the engine warning light definitely?thank you
Bro I got stranded yesterday, and this came in handy
subscribed! i want that more horse power! gonna test drive it now
Sounds good my bro ...thanks
Thanks bro. Fixed my issue
What causes spark to jump out of the coil hole. Only #2 does it and the other three don’t. Cylinder 2 is misfiring . When you pull out the plug wire, spark jumps out of the coil hole. Help. Installed new coil and still have the same problem. Help
Thanks…!
Well taught 😎
Subscribed, thank you sir for the 1,000.00 Horsepower
@EasyAutoFix i have a '91 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon = no gas smell, but same symptoms = why when my mechanic replaced the ignition module, it improved slightly imo. QUESTION: would bad ignition coil lend to low (15psi) pressure in engine? Another nearby mechanic shop says he believes it's the floating valves & wants to rebuild/replace engine🙃 The issue came out of the clear blue: car ran fine, came out of a store & was barely able to drive to mechanic - determined to get it running = great car & sentimental😳🙏
Can you describe how to troubleshoot a coil on a farm tractor ? Thanks
Subscribed just for your cleverness.
Very kind, thank you!
Question, I see a little rubber around the sparkplug, i is preventing the sparkplug tool from wrapping around it to get it out. Is there a way to get it out and remove this circular rubber that seems out of place? The rest of the spark plugs and coils don't have this rubber and there is easy access.
The rubber is probably from the spark plug socket that slipped off when the spark plug was replaced previously since it is only on one spark plug. Use a small pick to remove/lift out or remove your spark plug socket rubber insert and see if your socket fits over the spark plug.
my 15’ dodge dart is slow to pick up speed fast enough. Do you think I have a ignition coil issue?
You are soo kind bless you 💖✨
Very helpful thank you very much
Thank you!
Need Help Please. 2000 Acura RL. Replaced ignition coils with TRQ brand. still getting the P1306,1305,1304,1303,1302,1301,P0300 codes, had TRQ send me replacements to make sure they were not bad and still getting the codes. Thoughts?
I have a 2001 Lincoln Town Car, it started running a little rough, then the check engine light came on, I hooked up my scanner and it said, misfire on cylinder #5 , I pulled the coil used a used spark plug and no spark, replaced the coil, cleared the codes no more problem. I doubt all coils will fail at once. Possible, but doubtful.
Change of engine tone is also a very important one
Question, should I stopped running my car or fix it right away?
U described my car .. thanks bro
Hey, quick question so corrosion on the battery terminal can cause my ignition coil to not work properly I do have a lot of corrosion on there. Do you think if I just clean it off it would fix my misfire issue or do I have to change the coil because it’s already damaged
is standard blue streak ok to use on pontiac grand prix. they have o.e.m. ones.
My car jerks going at 35 miles or 45 miles rpm is going up and down any idea why ??
Results?
Another good one! Thanks.
Well explained!
Thank you!
