I replaced all 4 Bosch ignition coils on my 2005 Alfa 156 JTS with brand new Marelli coils, and am now getting a constant “check engine” MCSF warning light.

These were put into the car a few days ago and although the car runs fine, the check engine light is constantly on and I am getting faut codes P0351 – P0354 No Signal Present – on all 4 of the Marelli coils. This did not happen with the Bosch ignition coils previously fitted and has only occurred when these were changed to the Marelli ones.

No other faults show up, other than these – the car apparently runs fine because it is on the emergency program, but the fault codes cannot be permanently deleted simply by clearing codes with the scanner.


What is the solution to this issue – grateful for assistance.

    Causes of the P0351 code
    Defective spark plugs or damage to tied wires
    Ignition coil defective
    Defective ECM
    Short circuit or open circuit in the ignition coil wire
    Bad electrical connection

    What repairs can fix the P0351 code?
    Replacing spark plugs and related wires
    Replacing the ignition coil
    Repair or replace worn or damaged electrical wires
    Repair or replace the damaged electrical connector
    Replacing the engine control unit

    ------------------

    P0354

    The P0354 code indicates that the vehicle PCM is not receiving the required signals from the ignition coil or coils while the vehicle is in use. This could indicate a problem with the primary or secondary winding of the coil.
     
    To resolve the P0354 code, you may need to:

    Eliminating intake manifold vacuum leakage
    Repair or replace worn or damaged ignition coil wires (or coils)
    Replacing one or more spark plugs
    Repair or replacement of one or more ignition coils
