Ignition Coil Resistance

  1. Remove primary and secondary leads from ignition coil. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between primary terminals "A" and "D" of ignition coil. See Fig 1 . Resistance should be .3-.4 ohms at room temperature. Check resistance between terminals "B" and "D" of ignition coil. Resistance should be about 2090-2310 ohms at room temperature.
  2. Check secondary resistance between terminal "A" and secondary output terminal (coil tower). See COIL SECONDARY RESISTANCE  table.
  3. Check for continuity between terminals "A" and "C". Continuity should exist. Replace coil if any resistance readings were not within specification.
