My vehicle will turn but wont start. Sometimes will start but die right away. Sometimes I will play around with the ignition coil and adjacnet cable and it will start. Then after turning it off, it wont start, except after fidling aorund with the same cables. Any sugestions?

Hi WDDAVILA,

Possible the connections to the coil are loose or contaminated. Unplug them and look for contamination or corrosion.

Spray some rust remover to clean them up. If the pins are loose, you need to make them tight again.

Check for internally broken wires near the point you were fiddling with.
