Do you need an ignition coil for a Jeep Wrangler?
It’s the perfect vehicle for the task. You just need to ensure your Jeep Wrangler ignition coil functions as it needs to wherever you travel, so if you need a quality replacement, AutoZone has you covered. There are plenty of signs that you’re driving around with faulty ignition coils for Jeep Wrangler.
What happens when the ignition coil does not fire?
You won’t see spark firing from all of the spark plug wires. The fuel injectors will still work and spray fuel into the cylinders. The PCM will still activate the ignition coil. This means that the ignition coil does receive the switching signal but fails to fire spark.
Why do ignition coils drop off at 5000 rpm?
Davis says that the OEM coils were notorious for drop off above or about 5,000 rpm. That might be ok for a half-ton pickup that never sees more than 4,500 rpm, but on a muscle car, especially one that’s been modified, losing voltage means lost engine performance, and not being able to take advantage of the engine’s potential modified or stock.
What kind of wire does the ignition coil use?
DK GRN/RED (dark green w/ red stripe) wire. At the same time the PCM activates the ASD Relay, it starts to switch the ignition coil ON and OFF by interrupting the ignition coil’s primary voltage.
How does the ignition coil work on a jeep?
The PCM (Powertrain Control Module = fuel injection computer) gets the crank signal and then activates the ASD (Auto Shut Down) Relay. Once this relay becomes activated, the ignition coil gets power (12 Volts). NOTE: The ignition coil only gets power with the engine cranking or engine running.

Can a new ignition coil burn out a prior coil?
If the coil requires a resistor -and your prior coil did not you may very well burn out your new coil in a short period of time. And conversely, if your new coil manufacturer does not want you to run a ballast resistor -and you did with your prior coil, you may not receive the performance benefit of your new coil.”
