what is a ''coil pack''?

Question

someone mention this relating to the issue with the EG8 engine fuel injected 92 model civic....engine shaking when driving around cruising speeds....

Answer 1

a coil pack is well a pack of ignition coils. It is what replaced the distributor on later models. Instead of having an engine driven distribuotr there is a sensor on the crankshaft that tells the computer when it needs to fire which coil. The coils operate 1/4 as often extending life. It eliminates alot of moving parts which means less to break and it also allows for a stronger spark to every plug since the spark doesn't have to arc and jump from stator to cap.

Ironhand is correct. I bet you have a V-Tech. Do a tune up with NGK plugs and be sure to change out the distributer rotor with a Hitachi or a Nippondenso part. Also filters. If that doesn't do it pull each plug wire 1 at a time and look for a noticeable miss fire. If you locate it go straight to the valves and look to see if you have any bent or damaged valves. A simple valve adjustment might be in order. If you have a bent valve the timing belt has been replaced. If so than its gonna cost ya, the head will have to come off and be repaired or replaced. Always replace the H2O pump when getting a new T-belt installed. The water pump will have the same milage as the broken belt and if you don't change it at that time, you will be in replacing it next. If you do it at the same time as the t-belt your out only the cost of the pump. If you don't you will be paying for basically the same job twice plus the pump. I forgot one more thing, it could be an inner constant volosity joint {axle}. Jack up one side of the front of the car {wheel aprox. 1 inch off ground}, apply the emergency brake, slightly apply the brake, enguage the trans slowly then rev engine up at a slow but steady pace. If you have a bad axle only one side should shake. The other should be smooth. If so than look for a busted cv boot. Inspect all boots inner and outer for splits or cracks. Replace asap. Scrup

Your car does not have a distributor. It has direct crank fired ignition using a coil pack for each pair of cylinders and standard copper core resistor spark plugs which require replacement every 15k miles (the plugs, not the coils). Replace the spark plugs first with appropriate NGK or Denso resistor plugs. DO NOT buy any fancy platinum this or multi-electrode that uber-plugs. If your misfire is still present after replacing the spark plugs swap the positions of the 2 coil packs. If the misfire moves to another cylinder (probably #4) then you have a coil problem. If it stays at #2 then you have a problem with the hole. Either bad compression or a faulty injector.

Answer 4

The at night suggestion should be accompany this, with a pray bottle filled with water, pray down the plug wires and coil pack, no arcing should occur, the water will Enhance the short and is easy er to see at night. I find the coil packs on that model are not all that common. But can go bad. I would start with changing the plugs, or even swop plugs from cyl`s 1&2 . did the problem follow? If not try swoping plug wires . did it follow. Just some cheap trys to find out why with out shot gunning parts at it . hope this steers you in the right direction. Best I can do for you on line from here, Good Luck!

Answer 6

You don't have one. A coil pack is a modular style of ignition coil with multiple coils in one assembly, and they are used exclusively on distributor-less ignition systems. Your car has a distributor and a single coil.

Good Luck and Merry Christmas

Answer 7

Its part of the ignition system as i recall, it becomes cracked over time and causes the engine to misfire as sparks jump from one electrode to another. The part is not terribly expensive but in my case the labor to replace was crazy because you almost had to take the engine out to get to it.

Answer 8

The coil is the electronic device that fires the spark plug. On old motors they had one, on the new fuel injected stuff they have one for each cylinder.

Answer 9

Can you get these items as a package or do you need to buy them individually?
