Engine light on
 

During, shall we say, "spirited driving", my engine light started flashing and then went to steady. I dropped by the dealer service department and they are telling me my coil is "arcing" and I need new spark plugs? :Eyecrazy:

Has this happened to anyone?

RPM's never exceeded 7500.

I this the correct forum for such a question? I'm not sure of the etiquette.

How many miles are on your plugs?

Going from memory I swap mine at 30K miles of use.

Take care,

Brian

how much did you pay for them to check your engine light? i paid $200 :(

Autozone would've done the check for free in most locales.


Anyway, to the OP..............depending on mileage, yeah.....your coils could go pretty quickly.
Do a search and look at some of the alternative ignition systems such as BHR or Mazsport have to offer.

plugs
 

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the plugs. I was TOLD that they were new by the dealership, but you never know.
