- This episode is all about ignition coils, coil packs, and coil over plugs and the how to diagnose on your vehicle! You will have an awesome understanding of ignition coils, how they work, and how to test/diagnose, plus much more. This info is crucial to understanding ignition systems on any vehicle.
This is another episode of a brand new series on how to become a GEARHEAD! If you have ever wondered how people know so much about cars and are absolutely crazy about anything with a motor, then this is a great series for you. This is geared towards people that have no knowledge of cars but want to learn; however, the content in my videos does try to make solid connections between theory and practical applications so even seasoned gearheads will find the info useful.
So share the channel with friends that love cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, and anything else that goes Vroom Vroom!!!

No not create sparks over top of batteries! They can explode!

Excellent. I had a job exactly like this last week and one of the MOT testers told me to do exactly what you did in swapping a plug to see if the error code swapped plugs and it did. I'll definitely remember to check this in future. Good stuff as always bud
Awesome! It's great when simple diagnostics work out and are quick. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Love your videos....you're a really good teacher 👍
Thanks Ashton! That really means a lot to hear that from you. Glad you are enjoying the videos and learning lots. Cheers!
Thank you! I got the answer from your video that I was looking for. You do a mighty good job in expalining technical stuff!
You're welcome Edgar, glad I could help you out and that you appreciate the teaching style! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Cheers!
The engine cover also hides the rattling noises of "modern" v6 and smaller engines. 😂
Plus it makes people scared to work on their vehicles......
Great video! Had an old school coil fail on me this summer. Took forever to diagnose as it had spark but not enough I guess.
Thanks! Yeah coils can be tricky to diagnose as you found, ya gotta take high rpm rips to see if they cut out. Sometimes you can do warmed up engine resistance checks of the coil but that's not always going to show you too. Thanks for the watch!
@wayofthewrench Question for you. For guys running old stuff sometimes (like in my case), new parts just aren't made as well as legacy parts. Is there a way to bench test an old coil to see if it matches the output needs of your car?
Not really. You can test the resistance and check if it's ok but hard to test for a better part that won't fail later in life. I know the old shops used to have coil and distributor test stations but I'm pretty sure it was just for failed parts. Hope that helps. Cheers!
Amazing video thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You're very welcome! Thanks for the watch!
From Stelly's secondary school Love the videos
Thanks dude! Glad you are enjoying them. Hearing back from people is sweet! Stelly's Secondary, is that on the Island?
Way of the Wrench On the island. Doing these videos to help with my mechanics class. Keep up the great work!!!
That's some motivation dude! Your going to rock at this stuff if you're doing it at school plus watching my stuff. Good stuff!
Shocking!
BC hydro? Hey neighbour.
Yo! Yup, what a great place to live eh?
Great explanation and practical lesson! Can you extend the axplanation to ingnition modules? Im looking for the best performance arrange in a programable ECU, but the system requieres al least 0,7 Ohm on primary and les than 3.6ms of dwell (I asume to avoid saturation) . Thank a lot for the explanation!
That's awesome you liked the video. Ignition modules are essentially electronic units that use transistors to trigger the collapse of the magnetic field inside of the primary coil when they receive signals from hall sensors and reluctor wheels (distributors). They required no maintenance like points needed but were susceptible to heat and vibrations. Back in the day, it was pretty common for these to fail. In fact, a lot of gearheads bought extras and put them in the glovebox.
Nowadays the modern ECU uses a wide array of input sensors (crank, cam, air temp, coolant temp, mass air flow, throttle position, etc) and the ECU takes all of that information to figure the ideal time to trigger the collapse of the primary coils inside the coil over plugs.
What kinda car ya working with?
@@wayofthewrench It´s from the 70´s jaja... Ford Taunus Coupe (The one in the avatar) has a 4 Cyl "Lima" 2.3 OHC engine. Originally has a "Oily" coil and a resistor cable (acting like the ceramic resistor you show). I´m transforming it to 45mm ITB´s, Bosch 440 Injectors, and of course electronic ignition, but the ECU I bought can´t handle the coils directly, so I have to use coils with ignition module incorporated. Thanks again!
Why does one of my ignition coils not have a hook like the others do?
A hook? Send me a pic on instagram of what you mean and I'll try to help.
That power supply looks like a microwave lol
Probably made in the same factory....
