Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

Ignition Coil Test:

1. With the ignition switch OFF, remove the distributor ignition (DI) cap.

Ignition Coil Test:

2. Remove the two screws to disconnect the BLK/YEL and WHT/BLU wires from the 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 (20°C).

Primary Winding Resistance
(between the A and B terminals): 0.63 - 0.77 Ohms

Secondary Winding Resistance
(between the A and secondary winding terminals): 12.8 - 19.2 kOhms
