Numerouse possibiities, bad gas, bad carburetor, bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires, bad ignition coil, bad battery, bad ignition swithc, etc..
A cylinder misfire could be from a bad spark plug, bad spark plug wire, or a bad coil. It could also be caused by a plugged or faulty fuel injector.
Bad alternator? Bad voltage regulator? Bad Battery (won't take a charge)? Bad fusable link? Loose or corroded battery cables?
In most cases the air conditioner does not affect the battery or the alternator unless you are running it than yes, any pull on the electrical system such as a bad compressor that has been turned on for any period of time could more than likely drain a battery. Its not likely that it would kill the alternator or the battery, it is more then likely that if you find your alternator is dead and does not work it was on its way out anyway. But, by turning a bad compressor on you force the brushes and the armature to exert themselves causing them to burn out faster.
Bad Ignition (Spark Plug) Wires. Bad Coil(s). Bad ECM or ECU. Incorrect Spark Plugs. Ground Wire(s) missing or loose. Alternator fault. Bad Battery.
A coil is what gives you spark it distributes the power to your spark plugs so it would run bad or not at all check for spark. The coil produces the power for the spark to ignite the fuel/ air mixture in the combustion chamber of the engine . The distributor systematically distributes or places that spark to the spark plugs in the firing order .
You mean Alternator, right? You lose power to go! But brfore that you will start losing systems such as heater, lighting, then power to your coil. 20,000 Dcv to coil provides spark for combustion.
A 97 Geo Metro that cranks but gets no spark is not getting enough power to the ignition coil or the coil itself is bad. The coil use the 12 volts of power provided by the battery and alternator to generate a very powerful spark.
Spark Plugs do not affect your alternator. As long as your engine is running then it should be charging unless your alternator is bad
Perhaps bad coil or coil pak?
Yes, because a bad coil will not allow the engine to run. But if the engine is running then the coil has nothing to do with the alternator charging the battery.
You bet. A bad coil and you have no spark to the plugs. No spark and the fuel cannot be ignited.
The spark is always blue. If your coil is bad your engine will misfire.

Bad coil wire, bad coil, etc...
Bad coil? Bad coil wire?
