Ignition Coil

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect wiring from ignition coil terminals. To check primary coil windings, connect an ohmmeter across coil terminals "A" and "D". Also check resistance across terminals "B" and "D". See Fig 1. Check that resistance is within specifications shown in IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
