Ignition Coils for 2010 Saab 9-3

 

If your 2010 Saab 9-3 has been misfiring, then you may have a faulty ignition coil. The 2010 Saab was available with the 2.0L Turbo motor and it uses 4 individual ignition coils. Many refer to these as coil packs, but the actual name is ignition coils or coil on plugs. That is because each ignition coil sits right over each spark plug. If one of these coil fails, and the rest are over 7 years old, the others will began to fail soon. That is why many mechanics will recommend to replace the ignition coils in sets. Now if you replaced them recently, you may be able to get away with replacing just one coil. The coils in the 2010 Saab 9-3 have the ICM (ignition coil module) built into them whereas many other vehicles do not. Many aftermarket ignition coils have ICMs that do not send the right signal to the computer causing a check engine light and a code P0351, P0352, P0353, or P0354. In the Saab, this issue is most likely solved by simply replacing the ignition coil that is bad. Our ignition coils are tuned to work well with the Saab 9-3. Not to mention these coils come with a lifetime warranty which is good for as long as you own your Saab.

 

Signs of a bad ignition coil in your 9-3

Obvious signals are a misfiring engine when a coil goes bad. The not so obvious signals come when an ignition coils has not completely failed, but is misfiring occasionally. This can occur when the engine is under a load (acceleration, uphill driving, etc) and has no issue when cruising. A check engine light will usually follow with a code P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304.Cylinder number 1 is closest to the belts while cylinder number 4 is furthest from the belts. This misfiring feeling will feel like the vehicle is chugging along, or sputtering. You may also feel some hesitation when trying to accelerate (putting the engine under a load). The best tool to have in these situations is an OBDII scanner. This tool can cost under $20 at many online stores, and will save you a ton of money by helping you to identify problems without having to visit a shop. Yes, this tool will still help even if you have limited knowledge about cars. Simply walking into a mechanic shop armed with knowledge is golden.
