Can a worn out spark plug cause ignition coil failure?
If you have trouble starting a vehicle in the cold, this could be a sign of ignition coil failure. You can run a simple test on the HT leads to check that there is in fact a spark going from each lead to each spark plug. If the spark plugs are worn out, it forces ignition coils to operate at a much higher output.
What does green spark plug ignition lead do?
At Green Spark Plug, we sell a wide range of ignition leads, suitable for cars old and new. What is an ignition lead? It is through an ignition lead that an electrical current is transferred from the ignition coil down into the spark plug and ultimately, lighting the fuel and air within the engine combustion chamber.
What should I put on my ignition coil?
To solve this problem, some ignition coil manufacturers pre-apply or include a marine-grade di-electric grease with their product. This gives a better seal between the coil-on-plug boot and the spark plug terminal nut, preventing moisture from interfering with voltage transfer and spark generation.
How is HT lead fitted into a coil?
Note how far the leads will push into the coils and run a thin film of epoxy resin around the outside of the HT lead so that the resin will extend about 1cm into the body of the coil when fitted. Push the new HT lead into the coil body ensuring it goes all of the way to the bottom of the recess and seats firmly onto the centre spike.
