Pick-Up Coil: Swift

Disconnect pick-up coil connector at distributor. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between 2 upper terminals (connector on SOHC model has only 2 terminals). See PICK-UP COIL RESISTANCE table. See Fig 1 . Replace pick-up coil if resistance is not within specification. If resistance is within specification, go to next step.
If ignition coil and pick-up coil test okay, use feeler gauge to check air gap. See PICK-UP COIL AIR GAP table. If gap is not correct, loosen signal generator mount screws and move generator to adjust air gap. Recheck for spark. If spark is still not available, go to TESTS W/CODES article to retrieve stored codes.
