it might be either or, and it could be both. when i got my ingniter from the junk yard it was 3 years ago, and it is still running. just go into the wreckers and grab a coil and an ingniter. they don't cost alot, if you can walk out with them that is even better. start with the coil if it doesn's work then change the ingniter as well. you will be back in your ride in no time.
