[QUOTE="m3jack, post: 458901, member: 14264"] there's 4 iginiton coils.. 1.i start the engine(you will nontice that the engine is vibrating heavily and the sounds of 3 pstons running) 2.unplug the ignition coil socket starting from one end-say,front to back. 2.1.unplug the 1st coil and hear/check if theres any significant changes of vibrations from the engine. -->if there's a sgnificant changes ie:engine vibrate's more heavily and the RPM reduced,means this coil [COLOR="Red"][B]ok[/B][/COLOR] so plug back this coil. 2.2.continue the same procedure(2.2.1) until you unplug the coil socket where there will be no effect on the engine,means this is the [COLOR="Red"]faulty ignition coil.[/COLOR] 3.After the faulty coil is located,try to replace with the working coil and practice procedure 2.2.1. example: 4 pistons: piston1 coil1 piston2 coil2 piston3 coil3 piston4 [COLOR="Red"]coil4[/COLOR] piston1 [COLOR="Red"]coil4[/COLOR] piston2 coil2 piston3 coil3 piston4 coil1 lets say coil 4 at piston4 faulty,when u connect/disconnect coil socket it doesn't give any effect. now replace [COLOR="Red"]coil1[/COLOR] to [COLOR="Red"]piston4[/COLOR] then connect/disconnect it shuld give effect on the engine. when coil4 is at piston1 it does not give any effect/response when connect/disconnect the coil socket. therefore the coil4 is faulty and should be replaced.
