Hello,

This sounds like you could have a problem with your vehicle's ignition coil. In the diagrams down below I have included a troubleshooting list and instructions on how to test your vehicle's ignition coil. You will need to use a Digital Multi-meter [DMM] to do the testing, so I have included a link below for you if you are unfamiliar with how to use one.

Please go through these guides and report back with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex
