Two Ways People Destroy Their Engines with Bad Ignition Coils

🔥Bad ignition coils can wash the oil off the cylinder walls, leading to piston slapping and engine damage.

💥Unburnt fuel due to bad ignition coils can cause extreme temperatures in the catalytic converter, damaging it.

🔧When replacing ignition coils on V6 or V8 engines, dropping something in the engine can cause severe damage to valves, pistons, and engine components.

⏰Driving with bad ignition coils for a long time can lead to consequences like bent valves, damaged cylinder walls, and engine block damage.

💡It is essential to replace ignition coils on time to prevent engine damage and costly repairs.

What happens if I continue driving with bad ignition coils?

—Continuing to drive with bad ignition coils can lead to engine damage, including piston slapping, dilution of engine oil, damage to the catalytic converter, and potential damage to valves and engine components.

Can I drive my car with a bad ignition coil until I fix it?

—If you need to drive for a short distance, it may be possible, but it is not recommended. Driving with bad ignition coils can cause severe damage to your engine and lead to costly repairs.

How can bad ignition coils affect the engine oil?

—Bad ignition coils can wash the oil off the cylinder walls, leading to increased wear and potential damage to the pistons, cylinder heads, crankshaft bearings, and connecting rod bearings. This can also cause the engine oil to become diluted with fuel.

What are the signs of bad ignition coils?

—Signs of bad ignition coils may include misfires, check engine light illumination, rough idling, poor acceleration, and increased fuel consumption.

Why is it important to replace ignition coils on time?

—Replacing ignition coils on time is crucial to prevent engine damage. Ignoring or delaying the replacement can lead to costly repairs and potential engine failure.
