As the core component in the engine ignition system, the ignition coil is mainly responsible for intermittently converting the low-voltage electricity of the vehicle into high-voltage electricity. And once there is no high-voltage electricity converted by the ignition coil, the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder will not be able to be ignited by breakdown, and the engine will not work properly.
And we all know that there are as many ignition coils as there are cylinders in a general engine, so if a certain ignition coil is damaged, can it be replaced individually? Are there any tricks when unplugging the ignition coil?
Can the ignition coil be replaced individually?
Can.
Since almost all engines currently use a separate ignition mode in which each cylinder is assigned an ignition coil, when the ignition coil of a cylinder is damaged, it can be replaced individually.
The independent ignition mode eliminates the distributor and high-voltage lines and has the advantages of small voltage energy transfer loss and small leakage loss. At the same time, the ignition coil and the spark plug are assembled and wrapped in metal, which can greatly reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure the engine's electronic control system. normal work.
Ignition coil plug removal skills
The plug of the ignition coil is the most common automotive component plug. The specific extraction method is as follows:
First, slowly lift the yellow plug outward (right) in the picture, be careful not to break the plug; then press down on the black snap handle, and at the same time slowly pull out the plug outward (right).
