Have you ever wanted to
know more about your auto repairs,

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.280
but were afraid to
ask your mechanic?

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.080
This brief video provides
you with information designed to

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.145
help you make the right
decisions about your auto repairs.

00:00:11.685 --> 00:00:15.685
An ignition coil is a high
voltage transformer in your ignition system,

00:00:15.685 --> 00:00:18.690
which transforms the battery's
low voltage than the thousands

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:21.650
of volts needed by the spark
plugs to start your engine and

00:00:21.650 --> 00:00:22.790
keep it running smoothly.

00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:25.810
We recommend getting your
ignition coils checked during

00:00:25.810 --> 00:00:27.410
your recommended
service intervals,

00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:30.115
but if you're won't start
or the engine misfires,

00:00:30.115 --> 00:00:32.755
chances are your ignition
coil is malfunctioning.

00:00:32.755 --> 00:00:34.915
If your ignition coil
is not working properly,

00:00:34.915 --> 00:00:36.910
it will not be able
to create the spark,

00:00:36.910 --> 00:00:40.210
ignite the air and fuel mixture
causing a backfire or a misfire.

00:00:40.990 --> 00:00:44.190
Replacing the ignition coil
as an inexpensive repair compared

00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:45.825
to the damage that can be done.

00:00:45.825 --> 00:00:49.105
Because a bad ignition coil
can severely damage a catalytic

00:00:49.105 --> 00:00:51.125
converter or even
your entire engine.

00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:56.050
And without a spark,
your car won't start,

00:00:56.050 --> 00:00:58.230
might stall and could
leave you stranded.

00:01:01.035 --> 00:01:03.035
But from an environmental
point of view,

00:01:03.035 --> 00:01:05.615
there is no impact from
ignition coil replacement.
