Ignition Coil Replacement in Stockton, CA

Spark plugs are familiar to most vehicle owners, but we rarely think about the component that makes spark plugs work – the ignition coil. An ignition coil transforms low voltage from the 12-volt battery into high-voltage (up to 20,000 volts) that flows through spark plugs, which in turn allows them to generate the sparks that keep the engine running.

If the ignition coil starts to fail, it may result in all kinds of undesirable events:

slow acceleration or loss of power
engine may run poorly
check engine light will likely come on
stalling

Could you drive your car with a bad ignition coil? Yes, but it is not a good idea. Stalling is possible, and that can be dangerous, whether your car stalls at a city intersection or on the freeway. Driving with bad ignition coils can also result in catalytic converter failure, and that is an expensive repair.

So if your car experiences loss of power or engine runs poorly, or it’s stalling, we recommend that you bring your car to a professional auto repair shop to have it inspected and repaired. At Toole’s Garage in Stockton, we employ highly trained, and highly experienced technicians who are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). They will perform professional digital vehicle inspection, including starting system testing, and will provide you with an electronic copy of the results – if it turns out that the ignition coil is at fault, we will let you know the cost of the ignition coil replacement specifically for your vehicle.
