The higher voltage supposedly will burn the gas more completely. Will it give me better gas mileage and more power? Or is it just a waste of money? Would a regular tuneup be a better investment?
Pretty much a waste of money. Unless you have a condition which reduces the ability of your spark plug to generate an arc the standard coil (assuming it is performing as designed) is fine. Plugs and wires are more likely to affect performance.
it realy benfits a motor with more hig peformance like a biger cam or biger garbator so can burn larger amounts of fule . on a stock motor wnt do mush ecept look perty
Ignition coils are to no longer intense priced nor does it take rather some time (hard artwork) to swap. in case you be attentive to for specific that's what you pick, then you definately ok must be attentive to somebody with equipment and a jiffy to repalce your coil. I checked at Checker (KRAGEN) vehicle aspects on line for this section, and because i do no longer be attentive to the scale of your engine, i'm going to provide you the two aspects: The coil for the two.5 L engine tiers in fee from $seventy 4 to $138. The coil for the two.0 L engine tiers in fee from $50 to $123. of direction a Mercury/Ford broking will sell it to YOU for a good purchase greater, and charge you probable $70 to $a hundred an hour to place in. although, in case you're taking it to a smaller save, you will probable pay around the fees listed above and doubtless $50-$60 an hour hard artwork. i won't think of it might take to any extent further than an hour. in case you may desire to swap the ignition module besides, which will upload greater value (section) and puzzling artwork (time). It feels like an ignition module, in case you pick that too, will upload $194 - $269 to the fee of the restore interest for the two.0 L engine, and $212 -$255 for the two.5 L engine module. (those costs are no longer what a broking or save will charge you). watching the section, you need to pay 30% -a hundred and fifty% greater at a broking or save. for the same section. lower back, a broking or save will charge you drastically greater for the restore. So detect a buddy who's automobile savvy and has equipment and keep some greenbacks.
Without knowing the year make or model of the car or truck your question is difficult to answer. We need to know if the distributor or any parts of the ignition system have been changed. Be careful when changing ignition coils! Standard electronic ignitions are designed to work as a complete assembly.
When is the last time you changed the ignition wires and spark plugs? There are great ignition wires to carry the high voltage to the plugs. On the other hand, box stores sell some pretty sorry junk. If you have an OHM's meter test your old wires then test box store wires!
If you had listed the vehicle many better brands of low resistance wires are available.
It will help power and mileage. If your not adding more fuel be careful on how muck voltage is being produced because you can cause a spark knock condition.
