Is it possible for a faulty ignition coil to cause detonation/pinging?

I guess anything is possible, but I would think a bad coil would be more like missing. I would look elsewhere...

my understanding it running too hot and running lean are the most common causes for ping...

1 of my coil packs went bad. It's being replaced today. The car was not pinging, but it was misfiring. No sound, it was actually a silence in the exhaust when it missed. Felt like a paint mixer going up hill in high gears
