Coil pack resistance?

I know you check the middle termanial and the right most termanial.. and if you get 0 ohms that is bad.... BUT what should you see... prpmax has my FSM and the search function is disabled..

so any help would be great thanks

I got something "32" on all 6 of mine. I can't remember the scale I used, but I want to say it was 0.32. My car runs fine, so I guess that would be good numbers for all 6. Hope this helps.

This is not a bad idea. Presumeably most of your coil packs are good. Measure them all and see what most of them are getting, and that's your number.

Kirk,



Measure the inductance instead:

Checked that bill and let me just say I have little idea about inductance.

I do have a good knowledge of wiring, ALL wiring. Coils and transistors and things of that nature I have ZERO hands on experience. I did measure the 3 front ones with a GOOD ohm meter and got 1.4 K ohms on 2 and 1.6 K ohms on one. Reset ecu and no check engine light.

I am sure it will come back. I need to check the back 3. It has been posts of memebers from this website that told me resistance measuring was a good way to tell. I will look in a copy of the FSM sprint showed me last night to see what I can see.

Thanks for the info and link. I will be looking into this.

Keep in mind that humidity (i.e. moisture) will usually have more of an adverse effect and cause the light to come back quicker.

Yeah... hmm..

checked all 6 this morning the biggest gap is 500 ohms.. they all read 1.2 K - 1.6 K ohms

NOW I did check the condenser and the FSM say 1 Mega ohm at 77 degress. It was about 45 here this morning.. I got a wide OPEN. It started at 4 Megs ohms and slowly climbed to an open

I am going to get back in there and move the wires around and see if it is a bad wire. Also waiting on the weather to warm up closer to 77 degress.

Anyway updating as I go. Thanks for the help bill.. I am trying to slowly understand.

And the FSM says coil pack have ANY resistance, they are good. If they have ZERO they are bad.

I thought it would be a little better than that, but maybe these things only go bad one way

thanks again bill... BTW your not appearing evil.. say something mean
