any help on how to test ignition coil especially with ohm readings and specs ?
ive tried grounding spark plug to engine metal head ( shows no sign of spark,was able to see it working prior no spark ), also check the voltage going towards the Igniter ,receiving 12 volts in all connectors . thanks in advance

 

Is the ign coil inside the distributor housing or outside?

 

it it outside on the body

 

Resistance
Primary 0.36–0.55 ohm cold 0 0.45–0.65 ohm hot

Secondary 9.0–15.4 K ohm cold
11.4–18.1 K ohm hot

Can also be a problem with a pickup coil in the distributor.

 

Hi ,there seems to be no coil inside the distributor ,im going to test hte coil and respond asap .

 

ok so i got the coil tested, it read 0.28 ohms between primary and 12.46k ohms in secondary(both cold) ,is it time to replace? ,how do you find the pick up coil if i may ask? or is there even one.

 

Remove the cap and rotor to see the pickup coils. These are small sensors.

 

ok well , i tested the two terminals to the side of the distributor ,i got 175.8 ohms as a reading between the two terminals ( did some other reading online)

 

Read the information in the related threads below.

Supposed to be between 140 and 180 ohm.

Check ign coil.

 

Well its in spec, anyways i tried a new coil and fired up ,thanks .
