My 92 v6 camry wont start. I checked the spark plug wires with a test light grounded and it does not have any spark. Do you guys think it can be the coil? I looked it at the parts and it looks like it has two coils, the black one i know is the coil but the silver one thats next to the coil also says coil w/igniter. Which one should i replace? I want to test both before buying the bad one, but i dont know how to test either. I have a test light and volt/omhmeter. Can i test using either of those? Any help would be great.

 

The part having the large wire running to the center of the distributor cap is the coil. This is the part that steps up the voltage to fire the spark plugs.

The silver part should be the igniter, this part controls the coil operation.

The Autozone website may have test procedures in the sites self help vehicle repair section. You will need to "sign up" but it free and the site has LOTS of good info specific to make/model/engine type and year of car.
