Is it definitely the coil at fault? It is not a common fault on Stihl chainsaws. Have you checked the whole ignition system? There could be a fault anywhere from the coil, to the spark plug boot, plug or even wiring and connections in the kill switch system.Is it definitely the coil at fault?

The 3000 mule I have worked on has a coil, wire which screws into the coil and spark plug boot.
Do you have power and ground connection at coil.
You said you replaced coil did the wire and spark plug boot get replaced also.
If there is any question about the connection between the coil, wire and boot you might try removing the coil, wire and boot from back cylinder and placing on front. Swap them and see if you loose spark on rear plug after swapping.
Just a thought.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your 1989 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Here are a few things that you can check to try to get spark to the spark plugs:
Check the spark plug wires: The spark plug wires can become damaged over time, which can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Inspect the spark plug wires for any cracks or breaks. If you find any damage, replace the spark plug wires.
Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs can also become fouled or damaged over time, which can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Remove the spark plugs and inspect them for any damage. If you find any damage, replace the spark plugs.
Check the ignition coil: The ignition coil is responsible for generating the spark that ignites the fuel in the engine. If the ignition coil is faulty, it can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Inspect the ignition coil for any damage or signs of wear. If you find any damage, replace the ignition coil.
Check the distributor cap and rotor: The distributor cap and rotor are responsible for distributing the spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. If the distributor cap or rotor is faulty, it can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Inspect the distributor cap and rotor for any damage or signs of wear. If you find any damage, replace the distributor cap and rotor.
If you have checked all of these things and you are still not getting spark to the spark plugs, it is possible that there is a problem with the engine's computer. In this case, it is best to take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
Here are some tips to help prevent these problems from happening in the future:
Change your spark plugs and spark plug wires according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep your engine clean and well-maintained.
Avoid running your vehicle on low fuel.
If you notice any problems with your vehicle's performance, have it checked out by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
Yes, the spark plug wire can be replaced, but you have to buy the ignition coil as the spark plug wire is hard wired into the ignition coil.
If the metal spark plug connector has disconnected from the spark plug wire, the connector can be replaced, but if the spark plug wire has been cut you'll need to replace the ignition coil.
I got code PO 305 on a 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, what is the spark
plug wire part called This will have a direct coil over ignition with a coil over each spark plug. The coil is the electrical part over the spark plug. The coil also has a rubber part that is called the boot or spark plug boot. The boots can be purchased separately but the coils will come with new boots.
is it #5 coil,
Have you checked to see if there is any spark coming out of the number 5 coil?
and should I replace the coil and
spark plug and what should the spark plug be gapped at?
When was the last time the spark plugs where changed? It may be due for all the spark plugs to be changed. The spark plug gap is usually listed on the emissions sticker under the hood. It should be .050 - .056 or very close to that.
you will need 5/8 spark plug socket as well as a long extension to replace spark plugs.That you can get at local auto part stores.Plugs are on either rocker cover....there are 3 ign coils on each rocker cover that need to be removed then remove the plugs You will need a 5/8 spark plug socket as well as a long extension to replace them 8mm socket holds the individual coils on. ------------ON 3.2L there are acually no spark plug wires, the engine acually has whats called, coil over plug which means the the power to make a spark plug spark, happens right over your spark plug. Now in order to get to the spark plugs which are under the coils you have to first unscrew the screws, there'll be two phillips head screws per coil, after that just pull the coil out, it should be about 3 inches, the spark plugs are at the bottom of the hole that you just uncoverd, you'll need an extesion for your socket in order to reach them, take them out, replace, put the coil back on top making sure that its seated ontop of the spark plug, put the two screws back in, tighten and your done with one, continue for all. ----------------this should help.thanks.Helpmech.
IF YOU HAVE THE EI IGNITION SYSTEM.YOUR SPARK PLUGS IS UNDER EACH INDIVIDUAL COIL.DISCONNECT COIL ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.THEN REMOVE COIL RETAINING BOLT.THEN REMOVE OFF SPARK PLUG.THEN REPLACE SPARK PLUG.YOU HAVE 8 COILS TO REMOVE BEFORE REPLACING SPARK PLUGS.
Hi,
REMOVAL Always remove the ignition coil assembly by grasping at the spark plug boot, turning the assembly 1/2 turn and pulling straight back in a steady motion.
Prior to removing the spark plug, spray compressed air around the coil area and spark plug.
Remove electrical connector from ignition coil.
On 3.5L engines, it is necessary to loosen the screws by alternating back and forth. Do not lose the spacers under the coil when loosening the screws.
Remove 2 fasteners from ignition coil.
Remove ignition coil assembly.
Remove the spark plug using a quality socket with a rubber or foam insert.
This is a fairly easy job. Do each cylinder one by one (removal and install), make sure to reinstall the coil on the same exact cylinder (DO NOT MIX UP). 1. Remove coil retaining scre 2. Pull upward on the coil to remove. 3. Remove spark plug (using a spark plug socket). 4. Properly gap new spark plug (if applicable). 5. Apply sprark plug anti-seize compound on plug threads. 6. Install plug. 7. Aplly coil boot grease on the coils' rubber boot tips. 8. Reinstall coil.
If it's the four cyl., the first coil pack bolts over the #2 spark plug. The #2 coil pack wire plugs into #3 spark plug. The number two coil pack bolts directly over the number four spark plug, and the #2 coil pack wire plugs into the #4 plug. The firing order is 1-4-2-3.
Is it definitely the coil at fault? It is not a common fault on Stihl chainsaws. Have you checked the whole ignition system? There could be a fault anywhere from the coil, to the spark plug boot, plug or even wiring and connections in the kill switch system.
