Generally called spark plug wires in this country. They may be a thing of the past. My Toyota doesn't have any but I don't know how common that is. It will, but they're concealed in one tube. No concealment on the Toyota. It has Coil-on-Plug ignition. https://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/to...nition-coils-1 Why do they tend to put the coils on the plugs now instead of having one big coil? The last car I inspected may have had that, I'm not sure, all I know is there was a bar that clipped over all the plugs, with one thick wire leading to it. It eliminates the moving parts of the distributor and the high tension wires. Even without the old mechanical points, that is still a couple of areas of potential failure. The ECU is capable of delivering a timed pulse. The trouble is when the ECU goes wrong all hell breaks loose. It doesn't go wrong with the well designed ones. My current (French - as in ****ty electrics) car failed the annual safety test because it was reporting a failure of the antilock brakes. Luckily I use a garage where the mechanics have common sense. The computer reported a fault, but refused to specify what part was broken, so he just passed it anyway. Cars get bumped about, we can't build computers that can withstand that. Corse we can and do. No one I know has ever had any computer failure in their car. Everyone I know has. Don't believe that. No one here has reported having one fail. Well they all fail here, from every manufacturer. Bull**** they do. They do. Bull**** they do with your stupid ALL. They do once they're about 10 years old. BULL****. ****ing engine management light on for no reason etc. Never happened to mine. Maybe it's the soggy island syndrome. Nope, just you without a ****ing clue, as always. What's wrong with a display that says "failed fuel pump" in English? Because most don't have a ****ing clue what a fuel pump is. If you want a proper code that tell you what has failed you get an OBD2 thing and it tells you that. They must have a clue as they can pass that information to the OBD2 thing. So why not just tell the driver? Why should the driver have to go to a garage to find out what's wrong? They don't, the OBD2 thing only costs $5 It's like washing machines that say "error F4" - why not "please replace intake valve"? Because **** all of the buyers of their washing machines repair their washing machines. |
