Primary Resistance

  1. Remove coil connector. Using the low scale, connect ohmmeter leads to coil's battery and "TACH" terminals. See Fig 1. Resistance should be zero or nearly zero. If not, replace ignition coil.
  2. Set ohmmeter on high scale, and connect leads to battery terminal and a good ground on coil. Reading should be infinity. If not, replace coil.
