A mag or magneto is a coil of wire that is "excited" by a permanent magnet thereby inducing a high voltage to fire the spark plug with. Most single cylinder lawnmowers use mag and point systems to fire the plug. Coil is hard mounted and the permanent magnet is part of the flywheel with the points mounted under the flywheel.

A coil is a two coils of wire, one is connected to ground on one end and the other end is connected to either a set of points or an electronic switch, either of which turns on and off the current through that coil. When the coil discharges its electrical potential, its magnetic field collapses, inducing a high voltage in the other coil which is used to fire the spark plug.

Convert camshaft sensor of 4zz has 3 pins to engine of 1zz has 2 pin

wild engine swaps topic, SURE SOME SECRET TOYOTA model.
pin count are not the TOP clue (yes doing it wrong)
no car told or years, (both)

sensors come like this
HALL and mag coil. the can NOT be mixed, !
Hall is 5vdc sensor , has a power pin , signal and ground(3 pins)
a 4 pin is ground shield pin to stop noise (yes 1 or 2 grounds HALL)
a MAG coil is not true electronic like HALL is, it is just coil inside
and MAg COIL HAS 2pins OR 3 PIN 2 FOR COIL AND 1 FOR GROUND IF PRESENT, this signals are super tiny on mAG
for sure crarked and idle RPM. the PCM that needs HALL here is going to fail HARD (CMP hard nut errors)


THAT ENGINE SWAP WILL NEVER MAKE THE PCM HAPPY
EVER.

Jeep 3.7 cylenders 2 & 4 not firing

3.7 V6, mileage?

most likely the HV wires bad.

then bad coil pack.

did you check spark directly at the coil pack?

i use 2 known good HV wires to do that and 2 good test spark plugs.

both plugs grounded to engine (shell)

that is how you test any wasted spark coil pack. 3 coil pack.

if that fails the FSM shows, unplugging it and check the coil resistances. if wrong the pack is bad,

keep in mind the res. can read ok and coil be bad ,due to internal insulation break down (internal shorts)

if thats ok. the resistance , make sure the wires are not (primary)

to the coil (the low voltage connnector)

if that is ok, its mostly likely a bad coil, (pray not bad PCM)

if tool-less? start with cheap parts , work to expensive. (guessing)





now wasted spark 101.

if one line opens , both spark plugs die. no spark

the wasted spark is wired in SERIES. ( like Christmas lights)

the magic cuts cost of 6 coil\'s.

so if the HV wires are say, cheap , carbon wire and open

you lose, both spark plugs. use MAG wire and end this issues.

get some nice NGK mag wire or Bosch Mag wires.

you can see i hate carbon wire. for good causes.

(carbon string wire)

mag wires is real wire that is coil spun and is inductive. it

has the correct impedance but is not a resistor its and inductor.

and lasts the longest , and worth every penny.

What's the mag or coiul on a generac 6500 generator 13 hp

The "mag" is a magneto and it generates the high voltage pulse to fire the spark plug. The "coil" is about the same thing but it uses a set of points or an electronic ignition to control when the spark is delivered.

Briggs and stratton motor w/ points 5 or 8 hp. withintermittent spark. i checkep points and cleaned. gap looked good. checked coil wire, no cracks or shorts. cleaned mag mag and coil pickup. checked ground...

If selled some capacitor or new ignition parts order it always with statement of the serial motornumber and the year of build , because of modifications on marketing technical dicisions can be made for your engine, that can prevent a next disappointment. may be for the problem a new sparkplug the supression capacitor can also be bad a bad sparkplug connection cable .are some small sugestions.
