Bench Testing: Stator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Acura SLX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Using ohmmeter, check resistance between respective stator leads. See Fig 1 . If resistance is less than one ohm continuity does not exist, replace stator. Check resistance between stator leads and coil core. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, replace stator.
