coil ?

if the coil is bad would you still have spark?

could it cause the car not to start?

Failing coil = weak spark
Dead coil = no spark

Re: coil ? (scorp508)

if the spark was weak would it still start and run bad or would it not start at all?

It could start and run pretty poorly and then die under any throttle. What sort of symptoms are you seeing?

It started up and ran for a couple of minutes then died. No codes or anything. All it does now is crank but doesn't even try to start. New fuel pump, fuel filter, cap, rotor, ingnition module, and plug wires. :banghead:
