#1 of 6 Ignition coils by vbaker_92 Oct 30, 2007 (10:07 am)
Ok, my mpv has been running real rough lately i have to put it in nuetral when i stop at a light or at a stop sign. I was told it was the coils. Someone else thought it was the plugs. I want to know if the ignition coil is bad what will it do, and how can i change it.

Replying to: vbaker_92 (Oct 30, 2007 10:07 am) If you have a 2000 or 2001 MPV I would say it is the coils. I've read of the procedure on how to replace the coils at MPVClub.com but can't recall step for step. The front 3 are easy to replace, but the back 3 are a real pain.

Replying to: jipster (Oct 30, 2007 10:14 am) The 2000 and 2001 MPV has a single coil (aka coilpack) and isn't typically having the issues that the 2002-2006 MPV's are having with single coils (one for each cylinder) going south due to a design issue that keeps moisture in the rubber boots. New coils for the 2002-2006 are supposed to be a different version that remedies the issue.   -Brian Replies to this message: jipster (Oct 30, 2007 4:41 pm)

I just replaced the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets on my mazda, in addition to the pcv valve, spark plugs and and the corroded vacuum lines. I used fuel injector spray cleaner to clean the throttle body also.   I started it up and it ran a little rough at first, but then cleared up was running great.   I put in a small bottle of fuel injector cleaner, and filled the tank everything ran fine.   Once I got back home, I sprayed degreaser on the motor and rinsed everything off.   I started it up again and, drove out of my neighborhood it was running rough and then died, NO POWER the engine was still running but the car will barely move when I put my foot on the gas.   Could I have shorted out the coils when I washed the engine, i have pressure washed this motor many times before and had no problems.   Help......

But, sounds like the coils to me. Over time coils may develop cracks from engine heat, the last power washing did em in.
