Well... if a coil pack is bad your car will run very poorly. Secondly, coil packs don't %26quot;ping%26quot;. You need do do some more investigation and ask a different question. Good luck to you.What will happen if you have bad ignition coil packs?
You say you don't know, but you know what they are called, etc. why?
I only ask because some people just throw around the ONLY WORD / NAMES they know - and makes true diagnostics difficult.

The ignition coil (if that is exactly the broken part) is the part that generated high voltage to IGNITE the gasoline.
If the ignition coil is bad, it is most like to make your engine run bad or not at all. They don't make your car PING (PINGING is specific engine problem - not just a name of noise).
But PINGING (if that is what is really happening) can really destroy your engine from inside out.

Since bad ignition coil does NOT cause pinging, it makes me wonder if you are just using the only word to describe, but inaccurately, what you hear. No offense.
Good Luck..What will happen if you have bad ignition coil packs?
