Ignition Coil Resistance Test

  1. Remove ignition cables and measure their resistance (3000-12,000 ohms per foot). Replace cable(s) if necessary. Measure primary coil resistance, between B+ (battery) terminal and pin corresponding to cylinder(s) in question. See Figure .
  2. Measure secondary coil resistance between coil towers of grouped cylinders. Replace ignition coil if primary/secondary coil resistance is incorrect. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.
IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE - Ohms @ 70-80°F (21-27°C)
