Ignition Coil Resistance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mitsubishi Diamante. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure primary coil resistance between terminal No. 3 (power terminal) and each individual coil terminal using a DVOM. See Fig 1 . To check secondary coil resistance, measure resistance between towers of each individual coil.

Replace coil if primary and secondary coil resistances are not within specification. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.
