The job of the Acura MDX Ignition Coil is to convert the 12 volts from the battery into up to 40,000 volts so that each spark plug has the necessary voltage to efficiently combust the fuel. The unit connects the low voltage primary and high voltage secondary circuit with dual copper windings around an iron core housed within an Ignition Coil made of epoxy. When the ECU cuts the current, the collapsing magnetic field races through the secondary windings to make the high energy spark. Early Acura MDX models had a single Ignition Coil feeding a distributor, sending charge via wires to all cylinders. If it suddenly failed, the SUV would not start. Later MDX generations had distributorless waste spark coil packs, as each coil was applied for two cylinders and one spark would be released during the exhaust stroke. This resulted in fewer moving parts in the system and therefore better reliability. Most modern Acura MDX setups use coil on plug units, which feature each cylinder having a single Ignition Coil connected directly to the plug for faster voltage delivery to the plugs, cleaner combustion, and fewer high tension leads. Regardless of version, Acura owners of the MDX should monitor the Ignition Coil for faults because misfires, rough idle, and poor fuel economy are possible, with scans and resistance checks confirming its health.
