Does Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM Have a Faulty Ignition Coil?

Image via Bill Snethkamp CDJR. Ignition coils deliver 25,000 to 40,000 volts of electricity many times per second to the spark plugs. Despite working so hard, ignition coils can only last up to 150,000 miles of driving. When a coil eventually begins to falter, you'll notice the signs of trouble outlined below. Any of these issues may indicate that it's time to visit your local Chrysler dealer to replace a faulty ignition coil. more Erratic, Jumping RPMs When the flow of electricity through your engine is strong and steady, the RPMs will remain consistent. But when a faulty coil stops supplying proper voltage, one of your cylinders will begin to misfire. This misfiring will disturb the RPMs, causing the RPM gauge on your dashboard to jump around erratically. You're also likely to feel your engine shake and judder and hear it sputtering. Plummeting Acceleration Without as much power as usual, an engine with a bad ignition coil will fail to accelerate properly. This usually becomes most noticeable when you're trying to overtake, cross an intersection, or surge your way up a steep incline. Thickening Exhaust Fumes When a cylinder starts to misfire because of a failing coil, the fuel being injected into the combustion chamber doesn't get burned away as it should. This fuel can quickly build up and then start to escape into the exhaust system, where it will eventually escape from the tailpipe as smoke, thickening the exhaust fumes. Difficulty Starting the Engine Early in the morning, when the engine's cold, it needs a reliable burst of electricity to get going. If one ignition coil can't deliver that voltage, you might find it difficult to start your car. If more than one ignition coil has failed, you might not be able to start the engine at all. Poor Fuel Economy When one cylinder is down due to a malfunctioning ignition coil, your engine will be burning through fuel at a normal rate but with fewer miles to show for the effort. So if you find yourself spending more money on gas each month, a bad ignition coil might be to blame. Ask Your Chrysler Dealer To Clean Your Car's Igniton Coils While ignition coils are usually long-lasting car parts, they're located in one of the dirtiest parts of the engine and can sometimes become fouled by carbon deposits. A dirty coil can often be cleaned to restore its function. You'll just need to have an experienced technician take a look. Visit Bill Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM today to have your ignition coils cleaned or replaced at one of the state's longest-running dealerships. We're family-owned and operated and have been proudly providing the region's drivers with excellent customer service since 1926.

Comforts and Design This edition offers two designs: the standard model and the L model, which extends the vehicle's length to provide 15.8 extra cubic feet of cargo space. The interior is sophisticated, with your choice of American Walnut or Authentic Metal trim, heated and ventilated seats in both the front and rear rows, and a convenient Quad-Zone Automatic Climate Control that provides four separate temperature zones for everyone to enjoy. Technology and Safety When it comes to technology, this edition goes above and beyond with features like Uconnect 5 Nav and its 12.5-inch touchscreen. This infotainment system allows you to get detailed route directions with full-color maps, toggle through radio stations or make calls using your voice, and access multimedia files from smartphones wirelessly. And if the front passenger wants to act as a co-pilot, there's also a separate 10.25-inch screen that allows them to send navigation information to the driver's screen. Also notable are this SUV's next-level safety and driver-assist systems, like Full-Speed Forward Collision, which can alert you when vehicles are blocking your path, and if you fail to slow down or stop quickly enough, Active Braking can then take over to do this for you. Not too many SUVs can combine luxury and versatility the way this one does, and with all of its impressive tech features and spacious interior, it's the perfect SUV for all occasions.
