When my ignition coil is very hot is hard to start what is the problem

Could be numerous things, but I would start with replacing the ignition coil, then the wires and spark plugs. If it cranks slow then it could be the starter. When wires get hot, they have less capacity to carry electricity.

sometimes ignition module and ignition coils were shut down when they get hot especially is a bad ignition module

by pass the starter motor see the diagrams attached, and chart for troubleshooting. God bless you

Hi!!

When a faulty coil gets hot, it quits working, you have a 3 pack and they hardly ever go out in packs, usually one at the time and it will be misfiring and loss of power before the engine dies and the check engine light will come on. If check engine light is on, have the codes scanned to find out which coil is defective.

Otherwise, I would go for the ignition module, it is the flat part in wich the coils sit on. Check connector and wiring.

Check for spark in all 3 colis when no start condition occurrs, if no spark in nither one, replace ignition module.

Don't forget to rate this post!! Good Luck!!

Get the ignition coil packs checked. Poor starting (especially when the engine is hot) is a classic sign of one or more failed ignition coils.

if the coil is very hot,,u may need to replace it,,,,

This is for PGM-IG ignition coil type, there is also electronic ignition igniter on the distributor type.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the distributor cap retaining screws and remove the distributor cap and seal. Slide off the leak cover.
3. Remove the two screws that retain the BLK/YEL and WHT/BLU wires from the terminals in the distributor.
4. Remove the screws that retain the coil and remove the coil from the distributor body. To install:
   
5. Install the coil in position and tighten the screws securely.
6. Reconnect the two leads and install the leak cover.
7. Install the distributor cap and seal.

check for cracks in your distributor cap or ignition coil might be moisture getting into them.

My first guess would be the fuel filter. It is probably almost completely plugged.
