    Bad ignition coil?

    My coil numbers are:

    .9 to 1.2 ohms from + to - (it cycles up and down as far as .7 to 1.5)

    5470 ohms from center post to +

    Bentley says .5 ohms and 5000 ohms, and to replace if higher primary or secondary resistance.

    Did you have all the leads disconnected when making the measurements?

        it's fine.

        Short your ohmmeter leads together and see what that reads.

        Then take a reading with them on the same terminal, but in
        different locations on that terminal.

        You'll see what I mean.

        now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
