Ignition Coil
Ok, here's my problem: the 2000 Elantra was idling and I had my foot on the clutch, I didn't realize the car was running. I lifted my foot and the car lurched and stalled. When I restarted the engine started running as if it was misfiring or the timing was off. I took it to a mechanic and he told me the codes read that the coil pack was no good. He told me the car requires two packs and the cost without labor would be $325 plus $85 for labor. I bought the Haynes book only to find out there is only one coil and checking online I got a replacement for $75. I am presently waiting for delivery. Considering the jerk was trying to rip me off, does anyone think his diagnosis about the coil was correct. The engine has 62,000 on it and past the bumper to bumper. The dealer said the electrical isn't coverd under the powertrain. I could use any information that can be offered.
BTW the check engine light came on when this happened and is still on.
