Coil: Electrical device that creates the sparks that can be seen in spark plugs.

It is a high-current generator. The engine's computer sends a signal to the coil so that it can boost the energy that will be conducted through some special wires to the spark plugs and, in one of its ends, the spark that will later spark the fuel mixture inside of the cylinders will be generated.
Horrible rough idling
No accelartion
Lost of power
Changed spark plugs
Changed coils
Changed intake manifold gaskets
It then stalled while driving on highway
Had it towed home
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Thanks allen
My 96 nissan pathfinder le had to have the distributor replaced. Now with the good distributor it wont starat tho it will crank over strong. I have chwcked for it getting fuel, it is. And it has spark to the distributor. Ut not sparking at the plug. It has a new coil and ignation circut in in. It has a security sys and the operatibg indicator dosent lite up at all tho and it doesnt blink either. Nothing at all to show if its armed or disabled. Friend told me if we can get the indicator to lite up the thing will start. What do i do to reset or reprogram the security system to tell it that its not bn stolen so car knows its ok to start???? Help me to remedy this any one please please please!!!
