Where is the engine coil located?
Coil on plug ignition coils are typically placed near or directly over each spark plug.
What are the symptoms of a bad ignition coil?
Ignition Coil Problems, Symptoms and Solutions
- Engine misfires.
- Rough idle.
- A decrease in car power, especially in acceleration.
- Poor fuel economy.
- Difficulty starting the engine.
- Check engine light is on.
- Exhaust backfiring.
- Increased hydrocarbon emissions.
How do you test a Honda gx160 coil?
Measure the resistance by attaching the ohm meter lead to the ignition coils primary (black) lead while touching the other test lead on the iron core. Measure the resistance by removing the spark plug cap and touching one test lead to the spark plug lead wire while touching the other lead to the iron core.
How many horsepower is a Honda GX160?

What kind of spark plugs does Honda use?
As I mentioned, most of Honda vehicles come with NGK spark plugs installed with them.
What is the difference between NGK BPR5ES and BPR6ES?
The BPR5ES will run hotter than the BPR6ES. Running a BPR6ES in an engine designed for a BPR5ES may cause premature fouling, and running a BPR5ES in an engine designed for a BPR6ES may cause detonation.
What does R mean in NGK Spark Plugs?
[R] Resistor – If an R is present, this indicates a resistor type spark plug. Resistor type spark plugs reduce the amount of radio frequency interference (RFI) that can cause ignition misfires and static on the radio.
Can BPR6ES replace BPR5ES?
In terms of fittiment, the plugs are identical (i.e. the BPR6ES will fit properly in any engine that uses the BPR5ES and vice versa). BPRxES is an NGK part number (which makes sense, Honda contracts out their “factory” plugs to NGK). The BPR5ES will run hotter than the BPR6ES.
What is the difference between a BPR5ES and a BP5ES spark plug?
BPR5ES is a standard resistor (R) plug. BP5ES is the same standard plug without the resistor. The resistor plug is really more for cars with a lot of electrics that might cause interference, you can run either.
What does NGK BPR6ES fit?
The NGK BPR6ES is the correct spark plug for most Honda and Honda clone lawn and garden engines. This includes the Honda GC160, GC190, GX270, GX390, some Briggs & Stratton engines, Harbor Freight Predator, and the R200, R301, and R420 Raven engines found on RuggedMade log splitters.
What is the difference between rc12yc and rn12yc?
Re: My tractor takes a rc12yc plug can I use a rn12yc… Yes, the only difference between these two plugs is the size of the wrench it takes. If the socket fits into the plug well you can use this plug.
