THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN ON ITS OWN, WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT TIMES OR IF PLACED IN PART AND THEN WON'T START. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN THE FUEL PUMP OR FILTER, THIS HAS BEEN RULED OUT. eXACTLY WHAT DOES A PICKUP COIL DO, THE MECHANIC FIXING MY MOTHER'S CAR i THINK IS TRUSTWORTHY, BUT JUST WONDERING EXACTLY WHAT THIS PART DOES.

The pick-up coil identifies the cylinder in the firing order and tells the ignition control module to fire the coil for that given cylinder.
