Why does my Suzuki Wagon R misfire o r hesitate due to a faulty ignition coil? Detail:

The ignition coil is essential for generating the spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture. How can a failing ignition coil cause engine misfires, hesitation, o r rough running in the Wagon R, and what symptoms should I look out for?

The ignition coil transforms the batterys low voltage into the high voltage needed to create a spark at the spark plugs. If the coil is faulty o r weak, it can cause:

Engine misfires: The spark may be weak o r inconsistent, causing incomplete combustion.

Hesitation during acceleration: Without a strong spark, the engine struggles to deliver power smoothly.

Rough idling o r stalling: The engine may shake o r stall at low speeds o r idle.

Check Engine Light: The onboard diagnostic system may detect misfires and trigger a warning.

Tip: Symptoms often worsen over time. Getting the coil tested o r replaced early prevents further engine damage.
