Distributor Pick-Up Coil Resistance (MPV 3.0L)

1. Disconnect pick-up coil from distributor. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals on pick-up coil. See Fig 1 . Replace pick-up coil if resistance is not as specified in DISTRIBUTOR PICK-UP COIL RESISTANCE (MPV)  table.
2. Ensure ignition coil has battery voltage. If ignition coil resistance and pick-up coil test okay, check for spark. If spark is still not present, go to appropriate IGNITOR test procedure. If spark is still not present and ignitor is okay, see appropriate information TESTS W/CODES article.
