Symptoms of a Faulty Ignition Coil
One of the most common symptoms of a faulty ignition coil is when the vehicle runs for a while and then the car's engine suddenly dies for no apparent reason. This occurs after the ignition coil or module gets too hot, and usually will correct itself after the engine module cools. In some cases, a bad ignition coil will result in the vehicle not starting it all. Or, it may have characteristics of a flooded carburetor, where the vehicle runs very poorly or jerks and stops erratically.
