    how does a guy test a 2002 Mustang GT coil pack to see if it is good? Can we measure that with an ohms meter?

  • @thatdusty950

    i was diagnosing a misfire on a nissan quest, i performed this test procedure for the coil packs and it read that it was good, but when i switched around the coil packs from one spot to another the misfire jumped to where i put in the tested coil pack, it ended up being a bad coil pack did i miss something? or did something wrong? because i got the same readings as you

      This method only tests the 'input' side of the coil.
      The high voltage 'output' side going to the sparkplug, is not tested by this method. The bad coil pack may have had a shorted output coil, an open output coil, or a high-resistance short that only conducted under high voltage (which would read okay if tested with a multimeter).
      If this test gives a 'bad' reading, replace the coil pack.
      If this test gives a good reading, your swap method is the way to go--see if the misfire fault follows the suspect coil pack.

    so the last test , if it was bad.. it would be 0 or infinity right?

    • @Rich171090
      @Rich171090 8 місяців тому +12

      Yes, 0 would indicate a dead short and infinity would indicate an open circuit.

  • @jeanjacque1577

    Im getting the same reading on 1 & 3 , 2&3 . 1&2 read 2.5 63 all 3 coils read the same

  • @JacobPaul-ix7oc
    @JacobPaul-ix7oc 14 днів тому

    Just to get this straight, then.
    For two and three, any reading except 0 or 0.L (infinite) is good?
    For one and two, and one and three, any reading except 0 is good? Or do you always want those two readings to read 0.L (infinite)?

    • @knobsdialsandbuttons
      @knobsdialsandbuttons  14 днів тому

      Yes, between 2 and 3 any reading other than '0' or 'infinity is good.
      Between 1 and 2 and between 1 and 3 any reading other that '0' is good,
      These are the readings given in the Nissan Micra manual.

  • @justhere4721
    @justhere4721 3 місяці тому

    So when it says "except 0", does that mean it should be either infinity or a number value? Or just infinity

    • @crazytimes288
      @crazytimes288 2 місяці тому

      20k, 2k, or even 200 since the reading is 1.40 look up your manufacturers ohms reading for your cars plugs

      Yeah. Circuit can't be completed therefore it's shorted.

      This is only one of 4 ignition coils. There's one on each spark plug.

      You repeat this process on the individual coils. When youbhave a flat tire in thenrrar driver youndont look at the driver front thats ok and wonder why the car feels flat would you?

    Hi all, when I test ignition coils secondary resistance always show nothing. On multimeter 2k, 200k and auto mode the resistance stay on 1, but coils work good and properly. Why it’s happening?

      @pepedombo3819 7 місяців тому +1

      he wouldn't :) i have coil where i find 50k between two pins, but brand new coil indicates ~7k ohm. To know which is bad you need at least one good coil or at least know proper values for a given coil.
