Lifespan of ignition coil

[TSiRocker]

What is the typical lifespan of our ignition coil?

For the pass 18 years, my Talon still has the same ignition coil and still going strong.

I think mine died after 220,000 miles.

I am working on finding the problem now but when the car gets warm it misses a little then shuts off and will not refire.

The ECU looked bad so i replaced that with a AEM EMS (I was going to do it anyway) and now i am still running into the same problem.

Try heating the coil and PT with a hair dryer or heat gun when cold to see if it brings out a heat sensitive part.

Pt??

PT = power transistor (part that fires the coils and is located next to them).

my car is 17 years old and still has the same coil and still running good.
