Can you switch coil packs around?

It is possible to change just one faulty coil pack. However, when one coil fails, the remaining coils may soon fail also.

Are LS coil packs interchangeable?

Please note that all the LS coils are interchangeable and can be used on any LS platform.

Where do you put coil packs?

Speaking of mounting location, atop the valve cover is a pretty decent spot, relatively speaking, when it comes to underhood temps. A common first thought is to move the coil packs down near the exhaust manifolds, but the excessive heat generated from this location can become problematic.

Do coil packs need to be in order?

fact: it definitely doesnt matter which order.

Should you change all ignition coils at once?

A faulty ignition coil cannot be repaired; it must be replaced. In cases like this, to prevent future problems, your mechanic may recommend replacing all three rear ignition coils. Whenever one of the ignition coils goes bad, it’s also recommended replacing all spark plugs if they haven’t been replaced in a while.

Are cheap coil packs any good?

While low-grade coils cause misfiring and difficult starting, using them can have more serious consequences. As coils are controlled by the engine management computer (ECU) they rely on fly-back voltages that are fed back after the spark plug has been ‘fired.

Are 5.3 and 6.0 coil packs the same?

The coils are different but connectors are the same. The later truck ones are more desirable anyway.

How long do LS coils last?

The ignition coil on your car is supposed to last around 100,000 miles or more. There are a number of factors that can lead to this part become damaged prematurely. Most of the newer cars on the market have a hard plastic cover that is designed to protect the coil from damage.

Do LS coils have to be grounded?

No, it must be grounded to the cylinder head that the coils are discharging to. Grounding to the frame is a bad idea. Doesn’t the harness actually ground to the head, and you just extend the harness to connect the coils? The valve covers on LS engines are insulated from the head by rubber gaskets.

Does it matter which coil goes where?

Premium Member. it makes NO differance where the wires go on a 2stroke, the ignition fires ALL plugs mutiple time per revolution. if the manufacturers needed them to go to a certain cyl they would be labeled for each cyl but seems these dont have distributors it dont matter.

Does it matter what ignition coil I use?

In simple terms coils are rated by their primary resistance—less resistance in the primary windings of the coil allows more current to flow, which makes a stronger magnetic field. Flame Thrower II coils have lower resistance, 0.6 ohms for use with Ignitor II ignition systems as well as many other high-energy ignitions.

Are aftermarket ignition coils good?

Just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s always good. Aftermarket ignition coils are never worth the extra few bucks in savings. In a few cases, you can get away with using a cheap universal aftermarket part as long as it doesn’t affect: The engine’s performance.
