Ignition Coil Resistance

Using a DVOM, measure primary coil resistance between positive and negative terminals of coil. See Fig 1 & 3. Measure secondary coil resistance between coil positive terminal and ignition coil tower. Primary and secondary coil resistance should be within specification. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.
