svtkid78 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 You can test the primary and secondary resistance of the coil. Primary being lead to lead and secondary being the same. that does not necessarily tell you whether it is good or bad with out a dynamic tester. secondary is the spark plug cap side. Primary side is the side with the wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Coil is relitively cheap..like 20 bucks and that includes plug wires..A faulty coil will give you a weak spark and/or no spark in one cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
