BEWARE: Audi, a car company dedicated to "Truth in Engineering" cannot even get coils right. Just a winding of wires that has been around since the 1920's Audi technical experts just cannot come up with a long lasting performing coils for many of their motors leaving owners holding the expensive bag for repairs when out of guarantee..

Many folks on vwvortex.com and clubb5.com are reporting the exact same problem - car shakes, MIL flashing, coil pack dead. VW used to replace all 4 when this happens, since the other 3 coils are being "over worked". They've changed their stance and are replacing only the bad coil pack due to short supplies. This was also mentioned in AutoWeek.

Bingo, good pic: The ignition coil sits right at the top of the engine. Easy to find because all 4 spark plug wires lead right to it. You unplug those 4 wires, remove 2 screws, replace it with the new one, replace 2 screws, plus in 4 wires. Seriously, it's that easy. And there's only one ignition coil, so it's a cheap fix.

Those are just thumb caps and they can be removed with a little pressure and simply unscrew them. A pair of needle nose pliers can be used to push them if they are too tight to remove by hand. The #2 coil is the second one in order from the timing belt. So standing in front of the car, the timing belt is on your left the cylinder ID's are 1,2,3,4.

Let me start out by telling you guy the story on this car. I bought this car really cheap from a friend that owns a pawn shop. The car is a 2005 Lincoln ls v6 with 61k. I took it to ADVANCED AUTO and they told me its the coils or spark plugs then my friend told me that a place told him is was the ECM that is bad.

Ok,i'm getting a P0340 cam sensor circuit malfunction and a P0335,p0385 crank sensor A and B circuit malfunction.My car wont crank.I have replaced,ignition switch,lock and cilinder,cam sensor,crank sensor,neutral safety switch.connector,pig tails,batery,pcm.And still nothing,It has power on the small wire to starter.However Im tired of spending $$$$.Could this be the answer …

Nov 2, 2022 · Where is the ignition coil on a 2000 ford escort ZX2? The ignition coil is located just to the right of your car's engine. An easy way to locate it is to follow the wires from your spark plugs.

In 2005 I recorded the sound while driving at 2,000 rpm in top gear on a smooth asphalt road. It is 20 dBA higher than at 2400 rpm. I can also feel a vibration on the floor of the car as it goes through the rpm range where the noise is the loudest. The vibration gets louder if the car has an increased load, such as climbing a hill.

(Induction dimminishing intermittantly) As the spark in one coil becomes weaker with it's partner coil, your car Will idle erratically on TWO cylinders. (Engine also 'pinks' as lack of spark uses the compression to finish the explosion, once its at the top of the cylinder movement) The failing one IS producing a spark, but is a little dim ...

The cap is not recieving a spark from the coil though, which is the cause if it's sudden death and failure to start. It's very random though, predictable, yet random. Sometimes I wait 10 min, other times it's an hour and a half. The sweet spot seems to be at 30 min however. If the car sits for a while it seems to start fine on the first shot.
