so i have been hearing a chirping sound which i am almost 100% sure its coming from the ignition coil... i could hear it more on idle, if i rev up the engine it seems to go away.. maybe i cant hear because of the exhaust..... but i took a screw driver put it on the coil and i listened to it and it does seem to be coming from the coil.... now my question is will the coil make a chirping sound? if so does does mean its going bad?

If this is a new sound it’s probably going bad.

It’s a fast Pit Stop so why not replace it before it stalls you out.

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Insulation breakdown can make a coil noisy.
