Let’s get started 

Open up the front portion of your car. You will see a cover with bolts on it in the center of the car bonnet close to the engine. Open the bolts using a driver and remove the cover. Under the cover, you will see four coils one after the other. 

After you have opened everything and the coils are visible. It is time to locate what part of the coils is broken or damaged. First of all, start the car engine and boost it up a bit. You can see the engine shaking a lot and producing some metallic sound. This shows that there is some problem with the coils. But what and where it is. You have to find it.

To check whether the coils are damaged or not. Use a multimeter. Using a multimeter you can easily make sure that which coil is damaged and which one is correct. 

Verify that you have the correct coils to place back. If any of the coils are damaged. Replace it with a new one and then lubricate all the perfect coils and install them again by screwing them at the place from where you unscrewed them.
