When the plugs wear, the gaps open which causes the spark over voltage to get higher. Higher voltage puts stress in the coil and leads to internal arc over and finally to a bad coil.
What is an ignition module??
To much dialog, not enough action.
I have the same car, but I have a problem with the Airbag light, but I haven't been able to find any videos specific for the model and year. I ran a scan, but it didn't show any Airbag codes.
Was that all 6 misfiring ?
Okay geryer
1. Do a compression test – $10 for a gauge
2. Check coils for delivery – Free
3. Check plugs for spark – Free
4. Test injectors – $2.99 for DMM
For $13 you can diagnose the problem properly without throwing money at parts. What is the point is getting new modules and plugs when you might have a head gasket leak in a 200K mile car, diagnoses from a $10 guage?
Thales man!!
I have the same 07 Vue with 110K miles. Curious what general maintainance has been done to it and are you the original owner? I've just done brake caliper rotors & hoses on mine. I plan on trans and coolant changes in the spring. You have the most mileage I've heard of on this engine/trans.
