Ignition Coil: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Ignition Coil
1. Measurement of the primary coil resistance Measure the resistance between connector terminals 1 and 2 of the distributor.
Standard value: 0.56 - 0.68 Ohm
2. Measurement of the secondary coil resistance Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminal and connector terminal 1.
Standard value: 9.4 - 12.8 kOhm
Ignition Coil Power Transistor Continuity Check
NOTE: An analog-type ohmmeter should be used.
NOTE: Connect the negative probe of the ohmmeter to terminal 2.
CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning and ignition power transistor from breaking.
Replace the ignition power transistor if there is a malfunction.
