Magnetic Pick-Up Coil Resistance Test
Turn ignition switch "OFF". Set an ohmmeter in the x100 scale. Attach its leads to pick-up coil's distributor connector terminals. Resistance reading for Chrysler Corp., Courier 2000 cc, and Mazda B2000 Pickup & 626 should be 1, 000-1, 100 ohms. Courier 2300 cc resistance should read 760-840 ohms; Mazda GLC, 670-790 ohms. If not to specifications, replace pick-up coil assembly.
NOTE:
On Chrysler Corp., Mazda B2000 Pickup & 626, and Courier 2000 cc engines, connect ohmmeter leads as shown in Fig 1. On other models, connect leads to distributor connector terminals.
