coil testing

[gavin1]

i cant find anything on here that tells me how to test coil pack i found one for a 97 but i doubt that will work for mine. thanks

This is for the 2.0. I assume thats what you have

Measurement of the primary coil resistance. Disconnect the four wire coil connector and measure the resistance between the positive terminal and negative terminals of the ignition coils. Standard value : .70 - .86 ohm
Measurement of the secondary coil resistance. Measure the resistance between the ignition coil's high-voltage terminals. Standard value : 11.3 - 15.3 k-ohm

EDIT - Testing procedure is the same as a 97 4g63T

ok, but where can i find a diagram of mine .the pic i saw of the 97 only had 3 terminals,and you mentioned 4 on mine?

Do these images help at all?

That pic is of a 420a coil pack. He does not have that one.

Gavin - From the info I have they use the same diagram for both.

So you're looking for how to test a turbo coil pack?

I changed the image in my previous post to one for a turbo. Let me know if that one's one you're looking for. If not, I can get others.

sorry to keep bothering you all .mine isn't a turbo .also when i go to test this ,do i need to try to heat it up or is that just for the ignitor?

Might he have a distributor? I was looking in CAPS using a VIN from a 1992 Eclipse GS and see that they use a distributor and not a coil pack. I'm not sure (nor have read) how to check a distributor - unless it is how silvreclips described in post 2.

I have seen nothing about him having a distributor. I checked on alldata and it showed a coil pack for a 92 Laser 2.0 NT. Do you have the 1.8?

 

[gavin1]

no it has a 2.0 n/t in it.
