| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The ignition coils in my car are going bad. one right after the other. mazda told me that the heat of the engine (miller cycle) is causing this. i think the engine was poorly designed. there are 6 coils & i have replaced 3 so far, 1 in 12/04 & 2 in 4/06 along with all the plugs. this problem started in 2002 when cylinder #4 was misfiring. mazda replaced the spark plug. the coil in cylinder #4 was the first coil to go bad. the original plugs were champion. i was told these were the wrong plugs especially for this type of high performance engine. mazda said to expect to replace the other 3 coils. & then what? do we start over again? my car only has 32,000 miles on it. both catalytic converters have been replaced. i think mazda should do something to correct the design of this engine to allow the coils more air. *jb |
