The capacitor is used in an ignition system to charge up in the rest period and suddenly discharge in the firing cycle. The reverse flow of current through the coil causes a rapid decay of the electrical field in the coil and produces the big spark. If the condenser is faulty the coil field takes too long to decay so you get a weak orange spark that has trouble jumping the points

SOURCE: changing the tail light bulbs on a 2000 mazda 626

The Tail Lights Are Accessed From The Inside Of The Trunk There Will Either Be A Panel Immediately Behind Where The Light Is Or Carpet. Remove It And It Will Give You Access To The Rear Of The Bolts Just Grab Twist And Pull And The Light Will Come Out.

SOURCE: mazda 626 2.2 litre voltage to the coil but getting no spark.

either the coil is bad, or distributor may be bad. test the negative side of the coil then trying to start the car with a test light. the light should flash on/off. if it does not flash, either a wiring problem or distributor is bad.

2000 mazda 626 stalls and will not restart for ~30 minutes. Often before restarting, it will run very rough and stall out again. This has happened while driving but stopped at traffic light. Or will not...

Hi ...It sounds like it's an electrical problem.Check the distributor it self some times the magnoids inside may not be delivering the correct spark to all cylinders.plus the check the cap for any hair line cracks.Also the spark plug leads each one at a time.Finally the spark plugs.They should be clear and dry of oil,not burned black....if all well then check the coil.Inorder to carry out all these checks go Utube for instructions of how to check all of the above.Hope this helped......

How do i plug in the spark plug coils? what order?

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.

Spark plug firing order

check the ignition coil power source...get a test light & check for power with the key on @ the positive side of the coil...if it does have power have a friend crank the engine over & check the negative side for a flashing light..if it does then make sure you have spark @ the coil if not replace the coil
