How To Test A Vintage Ignition Coil at Miguel Soto blog

How To Test A Vintage Ignition Coil. Coils can be tested with an ohmmeter (most coils will give a reading around 8,000 ohms) or with the small scope on a sun machine. Disconnect the ignition coil output wire at the distributor cap. It is not the end all test, but it will show if you have an open circuit. A coil tester is the best way to test a coil. A reading of between 0.75 and 0.81 ohms (ω) should be. The first test you can make with a coil is to check continuity. To determine why your distributor isn’t providing the switching for the coil, you’ll need to get out the manual for your car or ignition system (if it’s an aftermarket system) to go. I check the resistance between the primary terminals first, followed. Connect a spark plug to the end of the ignition coil. Then, i set my multimeter to measure resistance. A normal coil will give you a “heartbeat” pattern on the scope, shorted windings will produce a “bumpy l” pattern and open windings will give a flat horizontal line. It is just an oscillator that causes a spark. This video describes a simple and easy one man procedure to test if your coil is firing properly. You see how much of a gap it jumps and then just. Using a multimeter, first test the primary circuit by placing the meter across the two terminals of the primary coil.
