TrevC Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi Robin...welcome to the Forum Have you tried a different brand of coil as the replacment one may be defective? Alternatively, it could be spark plugs in addition to the coil that has failed. Let us know what you find Cheers Trevor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it is in limp mode, you could have other issues such as knock sensors/etc. but without codes don't know... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Trevor and Lenore Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. So I took it to my regular mechanic and he ended up replacing the ignition coil and the mass flow sensor for a total of $425 Again I appreciate your help and happy I found this site! All the best Robin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
