Nissan Ignition Coil Overview

An ignition coil is a crucial component in the ignition system of your Nissan vehicle, acting as a high-voltage transformer to ignite the fuel mixture in the engine. It boosts the battery's 12 volts to the thousands of volts necessary to create an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel.

Why the Ignition Coil is Needed

The ignition coil is essential for your car's engine to start and run smoothly. By converting the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage required to ignite the air/fuel mixture, it ensures proper engine performance and efficiency.

How the Ignition Coil Works

When you turn the key in your ignition:

• Electricity travels from the battery to the coil.
• The coil amplifies the voltage and sends it to the distributor.
• The distributor routes the high voltage to the correct spark plug.
• The spark plug fires, igniting the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.

Signs of a Broken Ignition Coil

If the ignition coil is defective or fails, you may experience:

• A rough idle or stalling.
• Difficulty starting the engine.
• Poor fuel economy.
• Misfires or loss of power.
• Check engine light turning on.

Ignoring these signs can lead to a damaged catalytic converter or complete engine failure.
