Ignition coils are a critical part of your car&#8217;s ignition system, responsible for providing the high voltage needed to create a spark and ignite the fuel in the engine. When they start to fail, it can lead to all sorts of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, I&#8217;ll go over the common symptoms of failing ignition coils, what causes them to fail, and what&#8217;s involved in getting them replaced. I&#8217;ll also touch on the typical cost for this repair in New Zealand and why My Auto Shop is the best place to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of failing ignition coils<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several telltale signs that your ignition coils may be failing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Engine misfires, especially when accelerating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rough idle or stalling, particularly at stops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decreased fuel efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty starting the engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check engine light is on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backfiring or popping sounds from the exhaust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, there&#8217;s a good chance your ignition coils are to blame. Ignition coils typically fail due to age and wear, but can also be damaged by extreme heat, vibration, or faulty spark plugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ignition coil replacement process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing ignition coils is a straightforward process for a skilled mechanic. It typically involves these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Locate the ignition coils (usually on top of the engine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the coils<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install the new coils and reconnect the electrical connectors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear any diagnostic trouble codes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test drive the vehicle to verify the repair<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&#8217;s a pretty simple procedure, it&#8217;s always best to have ignition coils replaced by a professional mechanic. They&#8217;ll be able to properly diagnose the issue and ensure the new coils are installed correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost of ignition coil replacement in NZ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost to replace your ignition coils in New Zealand can vary quite a bit depending on your vehicle make and model and the specific coils needed. On average, you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 to $800+ for the parts and labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&#8217;s not the cheapest repair, it&#8217;s important to replace failing ignition coils promptly. Driving with bad coils can cause serious damage to your engine over time, leading to even costlier repairs down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose My Auto Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it&#8217;s time to replace your ignition coils, My Auto Shop is a clear choice.
