Ignition Coil Resistance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove primary and secondary leads from ignition coil. Using ohmmeter, check primary resistance between positive and negative terminals of coil. See Fig 1 . Resistance should be as specified in the IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE  table. If resistance is not as specified, replace ignition coil.
  2. Check for proper secondary resistance between the coil towers of each ignition coil. See Fig 2 . Refer to specifications in the IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE  table. If resistance is not within specification, replace coil.
  3. Check insulation resistance of case. Using a 500-volt megger, measure insulation resistance between positive terminal and coil case. If resistance is not more than 10 megohms, replace ignition coil.
