Ford Code P1364 Description
Ford code P1364 indicates a problem with the ignition coil primary circuit. The ignition coil is an essential component of the vehicle’s ignition system, responsible for converting the battery’s low voltage energy into the high voltage energy needed to ignite the fuel in the engine cylinders. When the ignition coil’s primary circuit fails, it can lead to misfires, rough idling, poor fuel consumption, and even engine stalling.
