Diesel? Fully-electric? Flintstones?

Fun activity that everyone should do
-
2 or 3 years, but only recently have i been doing it a lot. I plan on lifting my Jeep, but before that everything has to be repaired or replace by a performance part.
-
flinstones, hahahaha
-
Nice. I know nothing of cars, but I think that's cool.
-
In reply to: Diesel? Fully-electric? Flintstones? lol! individual coils, actually
-
Then there's no distributor. There's gotta be a wire from each ignition coil to each spark plug in each cylinder, if your car has a gasoline engine.I hope you've not been using the same spark plugs for 500,000 Km.
-
what kind of car do you drive? Single coil per cylinder...hmmmm, sounds a lot easier to repair.
-
each coil sits right on top of the cylinder and the plug wire, as it were, is part of the assembly and is just long enough to reach the plug between the DOHC.As exotic as it may sound, the car is just an Intrrepid. The engine is Mitsubishi, of course.
-
yeah, that can get complicated though. Never seen the coil sit above every cylinder...strange.
-
Audi was having a problem a couple of years ago with their ignition coils' failing prematurely. If your car died, they'd replace the failed coil, but they didn't have enough available to replace the 3 (or 5) other ones that could still fail at any time. Some lucky people got to tow their dead Audi to the shop more than once.
-
i heard about that. I never understood how simple problems are overlooked.
-
that's the kind of crap I'd expect from a domestic manufacturer.
