How do you change the coil of a car?

Use a wrench to loosen the bolts that hold the coil together.
It may need to be secured with 1 to 4 bolts depending on the size and application. To loosen the bolts, locate each bolt and use a socket with a ratchet.



This is what I need to know: Can I replace the ignition coil myself?

What is the cost of replacing a coil in a car's engine?

An average ignition coil replacement cost is $223 to $328. Labor costs range from $58 to $75, while parts cost between $165 to $253. The estimated price does not include taxes or fees.

How do I know which ignition coil is defective?

A spark plug tester tool is the best way to check for spark. An ohmmeter can be used to measure the coil's primary and secondary resistance to determine if there is a problem with the coil. The coil must be replaced if either of these specifications is not met. You can easily test a coil with a digital 10 Megaohm Impedance ohmmeter.
