Ignition Coil Resistance

  1. Remove primary and secondary leads from ignition coil. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between primary terminals "A" and "B" of ignition coil. See Fig 1 . Resistance should be .6-.8 ohm at room temperature.
  2. Check secondary resistance between terminal "A" and secondary output terminal (coil tower). See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE  table. Check for continuity between terminals "A" and "C". Continuity should exist. If readings are not within specification, replace coil.
