Ignition Coil Replacement in Castro Valley
Most vehicle owners are familiar with spark plugs, but there is another component that makes it possible for spark plugs do their job, and the component is ignition coil. Ignition coil replacement is one of the services we offer at Adams Autoworx in Castro Valley.
The job of the ignition coil is to transform low voltage it receives from the 12 volt battery into high-voltage makes it possible for spark plug to generate the sparks that make the engine run.
When the ignition coil starts to fail, you vehicle may exhibit a variety of undesirable behaviors, including, though not limited to:
- engine may run poorly
- check engine light will likely come on
- slow acceleration or loss of power
