How long does an ignition igniter last?

The ignition system of a car is responsible for starting the combustion process. Without an ignition coil on your car to provide the necessary spark, the air/fuel mixture in your engine will not be able to ignite. In order for the coil to receive the signal it needs to spark, the igniter must be working properly. This piece of ignition hardware will work to amplify the signal that the reductor gives to the engine control module. When you turn the key to try to turn off the engine, the igniter must signal for the ignition coil to fire.

Your vehicle's ignition igniter is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. In some cases, this will not happen due to the wear and tear that this part may have over time. Typically the igniter is not checked as part of routine maintenance. This usually means that the only time you will think about this part of the ignition system is when there is a problem with it. There are a number of other ignition problems that have the same symptoms as a bad igniter. That's why it's so important to let a professional fix your problems.

A bad igniter can cause the car to not start at all. The last thing you want is not being able to start your car because you didn't replace that faulty part in time. When you start experiencing problems that can be caused by a bad igniter, you will need to see a professional to find out exactly what is going on.

Here are some of the problems you may encounter when working with a bad igniter:

• Engine won't start all the time
• It takes a few tries before the car starts
• Car won't start at all

Until the faulty igniter is replaced, you will not be able to restore the performance of your vehicle. Getting a quality replacement for your failing igniter is important and a professional can help you.
