What This Part Helps Address

• Engine misfire caused by weak or inconsistent spark output
• Rough idle related to ignition coil failure
• Hard starting from degraded coil performance
• Loss of power under load due to ignition breakdown
• Check engine light conditions tied to ignition coil faults

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and coil style before installation. The GN10016 uses a 3-pin sealed connector and is specified as a coil without module, so confirm the vehicle’s original configuration matches these details. Inspect the boot, connector, and surrounding ignition components during replacement to help avoid repeat failures.
