Ignition Coil Resistance

  1. Remove primary and secondary leads from ignition coil. Using ohmmeter, check primary resistance between positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of coil. See Fig 1 . If resistance is not .49-.73 ohms, replace ignition coil.
  2. Check secondary resistance between positive (+) terminal and coil tower. See Fig 2 . If resistance is not 20,000-31,000 ohms, replace coil.
