Distributor Pick-Up Coil Resistance (3.0L)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect pick-up coil from distributor. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals on pick-up coil. See Fig 1 . Replace pick-up coil if resistance is not as specified in DISTRIBUTOR PICK-UP COIL RESISTANCE  table.
  2. Ensure ignition coil has battery voltage. If ignition coil resistance and pick-up coil test okay, check for spark. If spark is still not present, go to appropriate IGNITOR test procedure. If spark is still not present and ignitor is okay, see appropriate G - TESTS W/ CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section below.
