How to check the vase ignition coil

The car is a complex mechanism with a difficult system that consists of a variety of details. It often happens that even an experienced driver cannot figure out somehow, it would seem like, trifle. So, let's see in more detail how it is right and quickly check the ignition coil and in general, for which it needs to be done.

Process nuances

The role of this detail is hard to exaggerate, because in fact this item plays an important role in the normal operation of the entire car. The main task of such a coil is to create a voltage that is needed to appear the spark. Without this, the system work, as it should be, definitely will not.

If you keep an approximate comparison, it can be said that the part under consideration is a certain transformer through which an electric current with a power of 15 volts (can be called a mini version), and the exit comes with a power of several kilowatts. Unfortunately, it often happens that the ignition coil fails, and most often due to damage to the insulating layer or the coil break. In it, the voltage from the average becomes high, and therefore it is the place of increasing the voltage.

Let's consider an individual type ignition coil. Most often it meets in modern cars. There are two types of winding, and the first one has an internal type core, but the secondary is external. It is in transport with the ignition of an electronic type such coils are installed. When they found out that it represents such a coil and for what it is needed, you can now proceed to the analysis of the question - how to understand that the coil is faulty.

Signs of trouble

Immediately proceed to the case, these are the signs that immediately make it clear that something is wrong with the ignition coil in the car:

• The engine begins to publish outsiders who are uncharacteristic to him sounds, and it continues for a long time or regularly.
• In the case of low temperatures, the motor makes incomprehensible sounds, "Troit until it does not fully.
• If in the period of high humidity there are failures in the work of the "heart"
• If during when the driver rises to the accelerator pedal, the motor failure occurs.

Causes that can lead to the work failures:

• Mechanical type damage. This is the explicit and most common reason why the ignition coil quickly fails. It may still be aging cars, then insulation comes in disrepair, oil flows, etc.
• In the case when the contact compound is damaged. It is often happening because of the heavy snowfall or the rain or during the car wash.
• Overheating of the car, most often the individual coils suffer from such. It is overheating that causes the short service of most coils, even if they are new and expensive. This indicator is not easy to manage, but in your power to provide a car with high-quality coolant.

Causes and symptoms are clarified, now we will understand how to check the ignition coil.

Checking the ignition element

Today, specialists use only a few ways to verify the details in question in the car. The first way we will consider is the test "on the spark":

• This method is relevant, because it can be done at any time of the year, in any conditions, wherever you are, which is the main advantage of this method.
• In addition, he also has a number of other nuances, the main ones are the inaccuracy of the method and its laboriousness.
• All you need will be for such a check is a candle, (working), passasia and a key for candles.
• First you need to see visually how high-quality isolation of the wiring (so that it is holistic). Do not forget to turn off the ignition, and. fully. If after the inspection you made sure that there is no insulation, we continue our check.

• So, removing from the candle of its tip, after it will need to be connected to the candle (which you checked in advance and which is a working).
• Get the car. This can be done, both independently and with the help of some friend.
• In the event that everything is fine with the coil, you immediately after the proceeded operations can see the spark. It is important here that the color of the spark is purple, if you saw that the spark is not very strong and has a yellow color, it means that it is not all right (or with the coil itself).
• If the spark has not appeared, it means, indeed, your coil is really broken and needs to be repaired or a full-fledged replacement.
• If there are several coils in the car, then it is necessary to carry out this kind of test on their performance individually.

Anyone who decides to independently check the coil, mandatory must remember the main rule - you need to be careful in this case and do not be touched on the details of the current-type type.

In the event that, during the test, you did not have a spare candle (working) at hand, then simply unscrew one candle from the car engine. The assistant in this case will be a candle wrench.

Thus, you will not only be able to check the ignition coil, but also candles for their performance.
