Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the strut brace, then remove the engine cover.




3. Remove the ignition coil.
4. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminals. Replace the coil if the resistance is not within specification.

NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature; specification is at 77 °F (25 °C).

Primary Winding Resistance (between the No. 1 and No.2 terminals) 0.9 - 1.1 ohms

- If the resistance is not within specification, replace the coil.
- If the resistance is OK, but other troubleshooting doesn't reveal the cause of the problem, substitute a known-good ignition coil and check engine operation again.
If the engine then runs OK, replace the original coil.
