Pick-Up Coil Resistance Check

  1. Disconnect distributor connector from wiring harness. Connect ohmmeter leads to distributor connector terminals that mate with control module Orange and Purple wire. Measure resistance of pick-up coil then reconnect distributor connector to wiring harness.
  2. Resistance should be 400-1,000 ohms. If resistance is within this range, pick-up coil is okay. If resistance is not within specified range, replace pick-up coil assembly.
