Ignition Coil Replacement near McLean, Virginia

Proper testing is key — spark plugs, spark plug wires and other components can cause similar symptoms. Some ignition coils are better than others at generating high-voltage electricity for the spark plugs. Purchasing ignition parts that are built to OEM standards or better is recommended. Using inferior parts may lead to a repeated repair.

Replacing an ignition coil is usually an easy task, and can be done safely by almost anyone as long as precautions are taken against electric shock. In most vehicles, the ignition coil or ignition coils are accessible, and replacing the coil should only take minutes. In some cases, especially for vehicles with individual coil packs installed on each cylinder, removing the rear coil packs may be difficult. In these scenarios, the engine mounts may even have to be removed to create access. In these cases, we recommend having a professional mechanic do the repair.
