how long does an ignition coil last?
When the key of the car is turned over, the ignition coil will create a spark that is supposed to ignite the fuel and air mixture in your engine. This part is used each time you try to start your engine, which is why it is so important that it remains repair free. The ignition coil on your car is supposed to last around 100,000 miles or more. There are a number of factors that can lead to this part become damaged prematurely. Most of the newer cars on the market have a hard plastic cover that is designed to protect the coil from damage.
