   • Vuelva a conectar el terminal negativo de la batería.
   • Arranque el motor y verifique su correcto funcionamiento y la existencia de códigos de diagnóstico de problemas.

4. Operando

Once correctly installed, the Denso Ignition Coil 673-1308 operates automatically as part of your vehicle's ignition system. Its primary function is to transform the low voltage de la batería del vehículo al alto volumentage required to create a spark at the spark plug. This spark ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders, facilitating combustion and engine operation. Proper functioning of the ignition coils contributes to efficient fuel consumption and smooth engine performance.

5. Mantenimiento

Denso Ignition Coils are designed for long-term reliability and typically require minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection can help identify potential issues before they lead to significant problems.

• Inspección visual: During routine engine checks, visually inspect the ignition coils for any signs of physical damage, cracks, corrosion, or discoloration.
• Conexiones eléctricas: Ensure all electrical connectors are securely attached and free from corrosion.
• Reemplazo: While individual coils can be replaced, it is often recommended to replace all coils in a set, especially on vehicles where coils are known to fail around the same mileage, to maintain consistent performance across all cylinders.

6. Solución de problemas

If you experience engine performance issues, a faulty ignition coil could be a contributing factor. Common symptoms include:

• Fallos de encendido del motor: A noticeable stumble or hesitation in engine operation.
• Ralentí irregular: The engine runs unevenly when idling.
• Potencia reducida: A decrease in acceleration or overall engine performance.
• Luz de verificación del motor: The illumination of the Check Engine Light on your dashboard, often accompanied by specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to ignition system faults.

Pasos de diagnóstico:

1. OBD-II Scan: Use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve any stored diagnostic trouble codes. Codes such as P030X (where X is the cylinder number) indicate a misfire in a specific cylinder, often pointing to a faulty ignition coil or spark plug.
2. Inspección visual: Re-inspect the coil and its connections for any obvious damage or loose wiring.
3. Diagnóstico profesional: For complex or persistent issues, it is recommended to seek diagnosis from a qualified automotive technician.
