Mokka rough running and stalling

My 2023 Vauxhall Mokka with a gasoline engine is running rough, stalling at idle, the check engine light is on, and it's jerking during acceleration at 106638 km. Diagnostics point to a defective ignition coil, maybe from a bad cable or plug. Anyone else had this with their Mokka?

Hey, I had similar symptoms on my Mokka. Check engine light, misfires, the whole shebang. Was yours worse when the engine was cold?

Yeah, it seems worse during cold starts. Did your diagnostic process also point to the ignition system, and did you get any specific error codes during the scan?

Yep, turned out to be the ignition coil. I'd recommend having a workshop take a look, but it sounds like it's probably a similar issue.

Thanks, I had a workshop look at it and it was a faulty ignition coil from a degraded connector. Replacement and labor cost 95€. The Mokka is running smoothly now. Much appreciated!
