Common questions

Is a misfire always caused by a bad ignition coil?

No. Plugs, wiring, fuel delivery, air leaks and mechanical problems can produce similar behavior. Testing the affected cylinder or system helps distinguish a failed part from another condition.

Should I keep driving with a flashing check-engine light?

A flashing light with rough running can indicate a misfire that may damage the catalytic converter. Stop safely and contact the shop or roadside assistance before continuing instead of waiting for routine maintenance.
