I suspect my trailing igniters are bad. Its a long story...but its the only thing I have left to test. The FSM gives a procedure to test them but it also uses some special Mazda tester to do it with.



Sooooooooooooooooooooooo



Whats a cheap way I can do it at home?











Also, if they do turn out to be bad, can I just grab some coil packs from any S5 car? Or does it have to be an S5 turbo2?

All coils are the same. So yes s5 n/a ones will work just fine!

The only thing about that is nobody with a known good set wants me to splice into their pack ( I have a haltech... ).
