I would be grateful if anyone could comment on these results from testing my coil
It is in Green Label coil, 1987 1.9 DG petrol WBX
Primary winding spec is 0.5 -0.8 ohms. My reading 1.0 ohms
Secondary winding spec 2.4k -3.5k ohms. My reading 2.8k ohms
I used two separate multimeters and same results on each
Is the coil on the way out
Many thanks

Re: Ignition Coil Test Results
What is the resistance of the probes? Has this been deducted from the reading?

Re: Ignition Coil Test Results
resistance of probes is 0.3 ohms. I hadn't deducted this.

Re: Ignition Coil Test Results
So 0.7 ohm is within the range as is the other.
