Yes, a weak o r dead ignition coil can prevent the engine from starting properly. When an ignition coil fails, it disrupts the spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture, leading to extended cranking o r failure to start altogether. Some drivers experience intermittent starting problems before complete coil failure. Replacing a faulty coil usually resolves the issue, restoring proper ignition function.
