Dual ignition questions...

My '88 Stanza is a four cylinder but has eight spark plugs - one in each of the intake sides and one in each of the exhaust sides. Now, if one coil failes, say the coil that produces spark for the intake side, would the engine keep running off the other coil??


Yes. You can test this out by disconnecting a coil. You'll see it runs, just not as well. You can also have a look at:

Depends on which coil dies. One of them cuts out at wide open throttle.
