Will bad ignition coils cause a CEL Code?
Will bad ignition coils cause a CEL Code?
After doing some research I've narrowed down to a potential bad ignition coil. Recently the engine has had less power, cold starts takes a few seconds, sometimes theres a chirping noise (not a belt), and loss of power at higher RPM levels.
My car is a 2006
29K miles on the odometer
The thing is that a code hasn't come up so a buddy of mine thinks it could be something other than bad ignition coil. If it's possible to be a bad ignition coil without having a CEL code then I know it's the ignition coils.

Usually, you will get a CEL. Not always, though. Same goes for a failing cat converter.
You may want to check/ test them

That tester you showed me should let me know right away if its the coils or not. Thanks for the link.

I actually read all of those threads over the past week before creating this thread. I try to do my own homework before asking for help.
