Thanks for the video. Just curious what the actual resistance of lead three was, and what were the symptoms in the vehicle. ( eg was it say 25k, or was it an intermittent open circuit?). Nice MR2 btw
Hi, thanks for the comment. The car had a permanent misfire, having checked the spark plugs this was my next step. The resistance was ‘infinite’ as there was no connection from the distributor cap to the plug, so lead three was ‘open circuit’. Hope that makes sense? If you’d be good enough to like or subscribe I’d appreciate the support! Thanks!
Thanks for those details. While tracking down a slight hesitation during warm up on my 1996 Toyota, I did find another problem that lead me to a MR2 forum. The capacitors in the ECU have started leaking and corroding the PCB. Luckily it's still easily fixable, but just wondering how your MR2's ECU is holding up?
erm that's not an open in the wire, you are out of range on your meter, you only have it set to 20k as that's the specs you need to be within, but your wire has a major resistance issue if you had put the meter up one notch to 200k or more you would have got a reading, but anyway those two wires do need replacing
The lead that doesn’t give a reading and says ‘1’ when tested is the faulty one. At least that one needs changing. Please subscribe if that’s helpful! Cheers
Thanks helpful me.👍
Glad it’s helped!
great video,, very easy to folow,,, thanks for posting
Appreciate the kind words! Cheers

@AdamMechanic my motorcycle isn't getting a spark to the plugs and I'm trying to test the coil now is 20 ohms from sparkplug lead to higb

Fair comment, yes I could have got a higher resistance reading on the others thinking about it.
Just question how do you know the good one from the harmful

Most bhogus, unnecessary made the vedio lengthy
Sorry you feel that way. Just trying to get plenty of fact and information in there to help as many as possible.
good video but necessary talking
