Ignition coils
JezzaPeach:
:) :) Nice one Ash too, as I didn’t throw my old coils away and had a DeWalt multi too for Christmas!!

Gonna have a go at this so that saves me looking for it again, cheers Ash. My leads are so knackered they just hang limp on one of the coils, thought I might have a go after reading ot a few months back. :)

Thanks for the replies guys, brilliant advice.
2&3 cylinders had stopped firing swapped condensers but it made no difference swapped leads on coils and plugs an 2&3 fired immediately, I assumed it was the coil never thought of the lead or cap.
JezzaPeach:
Hi just a question about the primary resistance. I’ve just tested the 2 old coils I had, and 2 new ones now fitted, and on all 4, using 2 different multimeters, the primary ohm reading is zero.
The advice says 4-5 ohms?, I can’t believe the zero readings could be ‘wrong’ on all 4. Any thoughts very much appreciated.
I’ve be doing all the usual checks due to occasionally stalling when hot, and I’m currently also checking for induction air leaks.
(I changed the coils because the leads were poor, and possibly a dud cap was the main issue)

Your meter is on the wrong scale or duff
