Detailed Description

Motorad 3IC169 is an ignition coil designed for Saturn vehicles that need dependable spark energy for proper combustion and drivability. The coil uses a 12 VDC design with bullet-style terminals, a male connector, and male terminals, and it requires an external resistor. Primary resistance is listed at 200-700 ohms, with secondary resistance at 9500-15000 ohms. This part cross-references D1128 for the same application. Use Motorad 3IC169 when replacing a worn or failing coil on Saturn SC1, SL2, or SW2 models, or other listed Saturn applications from 1991-2002.

What This Part Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak ignition output
• Misfires from inconsistent spark delivery
• Rough idle related to ignition coil wear
• Loss of engine performance under heat load
• Intermittent ignition problems from aging coil components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a 12 VDC ignition system with bullet terminals and an external resistor before installation. Confirm connector style, terminal count, and mounting hole layout against the original part. Inspect related ignition components, wiring, and resistor condition during replacement to avoid repeat failures.
