Ignition Coil Resistance
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 1990 Mitsubishi Van, 1990 Mitsubishi Sigma, 1990 Mitsubishi Precis, 1990 Mitsubishi Pickup, and 1990 Mitsubishi Montero. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Using a DVOM, measure primary coil resistance between positive and negative terminals of coil. See Figure -Figure . Measure secondary coil resistance between coil positive terminal and ignition coil tower. Primary and secondary coil resistance should be within specification. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.
