when i trying to start my engine only one coil gives a spark. i went to my mitsubishi dealer and bought a new ignition coil, i installed it on my engine, tryed to start and only the same coil gives a spark (the other coil doesn't do anyting) now my question is what could be the problem i checked everything and i cant find an answer.

thx and happy 2009

hi,

where is the ignition modual and the power transistor located at your engine (can't find them :s )
 
If only 1 side of the coil is firing, & you tried a new coil, the problem is either a broken wire somewhere, a bad ecu, or the module (transistor). The transistors fail somewhat regularly in our cars . . . :talon:
 
+1 on the power transistor. Check the connector and replace the power transistor if needed.

I had the same problem once. I checked the coils and they were good. It turned out to be a loose connector at the power transistor.
 
hi,

thx for the info you gived me but i followed the cables from the coil and 1 cable goes to the power transistor and the 2 others goes to the ecu. Non is broken and the one that is connected to the power transistor is the one that works.

grtz Nick
