Factory GM Coils

The ignition coil is a vital component in a car's ignition system that converts the battery's low voltage to a high voltage required to create a spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture in the engine's combustion chamber.

How The Ignition Coil Works

The ignition coil is responsible for providing the necessary spark at the right time to ensure efficient engine operation, optimal fuel economy, and maximum power output. Without a functioning ignition coil, a vehicle will fail to start or experience engine misfires, which can compromise driving safety.

An ignition coil is typically made of a primary winding and a secondary winding wrapped around a magnetic core. The primary winding receives low voltage from the battery, which creates a magnetic field around the core. The secondary winding is connected to the spark plugs and produces a high voltage when the magnetic field collapses, creating the necessary spark for combustion.

When Your Headlights Go Bad

Signs of a failing, or broken ignition coil may include difficulty starting the engine, engine misfires, stalling, rough idling, or a decrease in power and acceleration. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to have your ignition coil checked and replaced if necessary. Ignoring these issues can lead to further damage to the engine, reduced fuel efficiency, and driving safety risks.
