Cold: 0.36 - 0.55 ohm
Hot: 0.45 - 0.65 ohm
-
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.
6. INSPECT SECONDARY COIL RESISTANCE
-
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the positive (+) and high-tension terminals.
Secondary coil resistance:
Cold: 9.0 - 15.4 K ohm
Hot: 11.4 - 18.1 K ohm
-
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.
