Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

1. Turn the Ignition Switch "OFF", and remove the Distributor Ignition (DI) Cap.




2. Remove the two screws to disconnect the BLK/YEL and BLU2 wires from Terminals A (+) and B (-) respectively.
3. Using an Ohmmeter, measure resistance between the Terminals. Replace the Coil if the resistance is not within specifications.

NOTE: Resistance will vary with the Coil temperature; specifications are at 68°F (2O°C).





Primary Winding Resistance (Between the A and B Terminals): 0.4 - 0.6 ohms.
Secondary Winding Resistance (Between the A and Secondary Winding Terminals): 22 - 34 k ohms.
