Ignition Coil Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Acura Integra, 1999 Acura 3.5RL, 1999 Acura 3.2TL, 1999 Acura 3.0CL, and 1999 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition coil 3-pin connector. Measure primary winding resistance between ignition coil connector terminal No. 1 (Black/Yellow wire) and terminal No. 3 (Blue wire). Resistance should be .34-.42 ohm at 68°F (20°C).
- Measure secondary winding resistance between ignition coil connector middle terminal No. 2 (Black/Yellow wire) and secondary terminal (coil tower). Resistance should be 17,100-20,900 ohms at 68°F (20°C). Replace coil if resistance is not within specification.
