200SX L4-2187cc 2.2L SOHC (Z22E) (1982)
Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection
Models W/Internal IC Unit
Coil Secondary Test
1. Disconnect high tension lead from coil, and connect an ohmmeter between high tension tower and negative terminal on coil.
2. Resistance should measure 8,200-12,400 ohms on models with external IC unit and Stanza models with internal IC unit, 8,000-12,000 ohms on
1984-86 200SX models with internal IC unit, or 7,300-1 1,000 ohms on all other models with internal unit
3. If resistance is not within specification, replace coil.
Primary Circuit Test
Fig. 6 Primary circuit test connections with internal IC unit.
1. With ignition switch in off position, remove distributor cap and rotor.
2. Connect voltmeter between "I" connector and ground as shown in Fig. 6.
3. Turn ignition switch to on position. Meter should read 11.5-12.5 volts.
4. If reading is within specification, repeat procedure with "E" connector, Fig' 6.
5. If either reading is less than 11.5 volts, test ignition coil primary windings, as previously outlined. Resistance should measure .84-1.02 ohms on
Stanza and 1984-86 200SX models, or 1.04-1.27 ohms on all other models.
6. If voltage readings are within specifications, test IC unit ground circuit.
