What are the risks of driving a Honda City with a failing ignition coil?

Some drivers continue to use their vehicle despite mild ignition coil failure. Can prolonged driving with a bad coil cause further damage to the engine o r catalytic converter? What other components can be affected if this issue is ignored for too long?

Risks of Driving with a Faulty Coil:

Engine Damage: If the engine misfires continuously due to a faulty ignition coil, it can lead to unburned fuel entering the exhaust system, which can damage the catalytic converter.
Increased Wear on Other Components: Prolonged misfiring can damage other parts of the ignition system, such as the spark plugs and wires.
Reduced Fuel Efficiency: Misfires due to a faulty coil can result in poor fuel combustion, reducing the car’s fuel efficiency.
Potential Engine Overheating: In some cases, engine misfires can cause overheating, which may lead to costly engine repairs.
