External Mounted Coil (Sealed Module Connector Distributor)

Remove coil connectors and secondary coil wire. In test "A", use high ohmmeter scale. See Fig 1. If continuity is present, replace coil. In test "B", use low ohmmeter scale. Reading should be very low or near zero. If not, replace coil. In test "C", use high ohmmeter scale. If there is no continuity, replace coil.
