Unlikely that a COP failure would stop the engine and keep it from starting again. That has been pointed out earlier in the conversation, more than once. OP did not have a COP fail, from what we can read here. ---

There is a remote possibility that the failed coil blew the ignition/injector fuse. ---

It appears we’ll know soon enough, provided OP keeps us informed. I’d guess a single coil failure could cause intermittent fails to start. Especially cold starts w/a 4 cylinder engine. ---

Hard to get 1 coil? OP is a no show. I’d tow it to mitsu dealer. ---

> [@Cavell](#): > > I’d tow it to mitsu dealer. That’s not a bad idea, but it could be a very long tow. This might vary in other parts of The US and in other countries, but Mitusubishi dealerships are few and far between in my neck of the woods. ---

Only 4 miles from you! That’s convenient. I wonder how far the nearest Mitsubishi dealer is from the OP? ---

Nope lawn mower put away for the season, oil plugs filter for next year. Snow blower season now. Maybe I’ll buy a snow mobile. Eat your heart out. The cold kills all those little critters. ---

UPDATE: Sorry for the delay and thank you everyone for your advise and insight. The ignition coil and replacement fuse as you all advised did not fix anything. I am scheduled to go to a mechanic shop next week ( one a friend of mines husband works at ). The check engine light came back on and I have not be driving since, it is parked until the mechanic can look at it ( don’t want to add more problems ). I did notice a rattling noise ( almost like loose change in a can) for a second or two when I start to accelerate, I checked the dip stick and the oil is above the 2 dots and a finger swipe from the tail pipe. I have a clip of the sound, however this platform will not let me upload it. I also added the codes from OBD2 reader. ![IMG_9578](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/8/e/8ee96c7f9ad1a1574a5e3c4ca10bd9f130b504c0.jpeg) ---

Are you very low on power . . . ? I’m somewhat concerned because you’ve got catalyst efficiency codes on BOTH banks In any case, I feel you’re on the right track by bringing it to another shop for a second opinion ---

There was a 1 in 1,000 chance of having a blown fuse for no reason. Fault **B1130: Ignition Power Supply** is for the ignition _switch_ circuit, not the high voltage engine ignition coils. There was a recall issued 7 years ago for faulty engine control relays. that recall may have already been performed but might be related to your ignition circuit problem.

After the ignition coil and fuse replacement the car seems to drive “fine” as far as driving the 30 ish KM before the check engine came back on. Once I noticed the check engine light on I got home ( 15 KM ish ) but the car was still driving fine as if nothing is off lol. ---

Reply #53 says car does not run after coil and fuse replacement. Reply #56 says car runs after coil and fuse replacement? ---
