Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

1. Turn the Ignition Switch "OFF", and remove the Distributor Ignition Cap.





2. Remove the two screws to disconnect the BLK/YEL and BLU2 Wires from Terminals A (+) and B (-) respectively.





3. Using an Ohmmeter, measure resistance between the Terminals. Replace the Coil if the resistance is not within specifications.

NOTE: Resistance will vary with the Coil temperature; specifications are at 68°F (2O°C).

Primary Winding Resistance (Between the A and B Terminals): 0.4-0.6 Ohms.

Secondary Winding Resistance (Between the A and Secondary Winding Terminals): 22 - 34 K Ohms.
