My car runs rough. The Chiltons manual says that the ignition coils should be around .8 ohms. well i got 1.2 ohms for the front three and didnt bother with the rear three. so am I to assume that I need new ignition coils??? Because the resistance is higher than it should be which means Im not getting good spark. any help, thanks

 

matt will know about this.

 

i would also check the resistance of the fuel injectors they go bad more offten they should read 10 to 14ohms i think ignition coils are more nown for hesistation

 

I'd check the back six also. If all six read the same then I's suspect that your VOM was to blame. If you have one or two coils that don't read like the others then I would suspect those coils.

The problem with checking resistance of the coils is that they are usually okay under light loads. It's when you boot it that they break down.

 

I should know this, what is a VOM?

 

Volt-Ohm-Meter..

 

well i checked all 6 and they are all around 1.2 ohms. im sorry its not really rough its just that i sucks *** getting to 3.5k and then its fine. thats why i was thinking coils with this heat soak thing. ill check my injectors but any more info on the coils and if i should get new ones would help
