It doesnt say in the manual, but do I crank the engine while I check the coil resistance or do I just turn on the ignition???

 

I checked it while it was running and I got no reading. How can it run if the coils arent working?? If I take the wire boot off the coil---it sparks.

Am I doing this right, sometimes the Manual just doesnt cover things like this enough.

 

Last I checked, when taking ANY resistance measurement... Part one is ensuring there is no power applied to what you're measuring resistance on.

 

yea that a good way for **** up you voltmeter. unfortunately Reading from the coil don't mean that your coil is good always. if you in doubt get the JACOBS COILs its about 40 bucks and its puts a foot in the **** of it's competitors.

 

Im getting 002 on the leading and 005 on the trailing.

 

What can i say the leads are with in range but the trails are a little high



its just hit mor miss man with coills... if you in doubt replace them.. its only four bucks

 

what ever you do DO NOT GET MSD coils..... I swear MSD stands for (My Spark Dies)





Edit: you need to close your tags. Hit the Close all Tags button if your unsure.

 

Where do you get them for four bucks!!??

 

try ebay

if not try jacobs web page

or depending on where you live thier might be a speed shop that has them
