Pick-Up Coil

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable and remove distributor. Disconnect pick-up coil and ignitor from distributor. Disconnect Red and White wires from ignitor. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between Red and White wires. Replace pick-up coil if resistance is not as specified in PICK-UP COIL RESISTANCE  table.
  2. Ensure ignition coil and pick-up coil have battery voltage. If ignition coil resistance and pick-up coil test okay, check for spark. If spark is still not available, go to the TESTS W/CODES article in this section.
