Pick-Up Coil: Testing and Inspection


1. Disconnect distributor electrical connector. Inspect connections for dirt or corrosion.
2. Using a suitable ohmmeter, measure resistance across orange and purple wires in distributor connector.
3. If resistance is between 400-1300 ohms, test results are satisfactory. Inspect wiring harness between distributor and ignition module. If resistance is less than 400 or greater than 1300 ohms, replace stator assembly.
