Ignition Coil

Ignition Coil Time?

Is your vehicle showing signs of poor engine performance, misfiring, or difficulty starting? It might be time to replace your ignition coil. Understanding the importance of this component and knowing when and how to replace it can save you time and money in the long run. That’s where the experts at CarCareTN, located in Hendersonville, comes into play.

The Ignition Coil is a Big Player

The ignition coil plays a crucial role in your vehicle's ignition system. It transforms the low voltage from your battery into the high voltage needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber. Over time, ignition coils can wear out due to heat, vibration, or simply age, leading to inefficient combustion and potential engine problems.

CarCareTN Knows The Signs That Your Ignition Coil Needs Replacement

  1. Engine Misfires: If you notice your engine is misfiring, especially under acceleration or at higher speeds, a faulty ignition coil could be to blame.
  2. Difficulty Starting: A worn-out ignition coil can cause starting issues, such as extended cranking or even failure to start altogether.
  3. Decreased Fuel Efficiency: Faulty ignition coils can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency.
  4. Check Engine Light: A malfunctioning ignition coil can trigger your vehicle's check engine light. Use an OBD-II scanner to check for ignition-related trouble codes.

Choose Professional Installation

While replacing an ignition coil can be mildly challenging for those with strong mechanical knowledge, it's crucial to consider professional installation for several reasons:

  • Expertise: CarCareTN has certified technicians who have the training and experience to diagnose ignition issues accurately.
  • Warranty: Professional installation often comes with warranties on parts and labor, providing peace of mind. Ask about what we offer.
