Went to the movies today when i got back into the car it just cranked and cranked, The fuel pump is working ,so i went to the coil and pulled the wire going to the dist off just enough to see if it was sparking as my girlfriend tried to start the car.No spark at all. While i was at the coil i noticed it jiggles around alot, like the metal nipple that you plug the wire on is very lose from the rest of the metal around it. Does it sound like i need a new coil? While i was driving to the movies the car ran fine although a couple of days ago it did take longer then normal to start. The cars a v6 if that helps any. Please help!

 

no the output terminal on the coil should NOT turn or move in the coil....replace it...although it maynot be your only problem

 

Its not only the output nipple its the plastic its connectect to also, it all turns and jiggles inside the metal around it. I tested the wires going to the coil today and the large red wire has power to it. Also i dont know if this would help or hurt but the coil is a stock kind and it is zip tied to the bracket.

 

I got it fixed, i put a coil i had around the house from a 5.0 ford motor in and the car started up
