How do you check to see if the coil pack is good? My car is misfiring.... thanks!!
|
I dont know exactly how you test them other than maybve with a voltometer.
They are very inexpensive to replace though. I belive its under $40. |
You can check the resistance accross the terminals using a multimeter.
|
All the checks really arent that effective.....
They wont say if they are putting out right, firing correct, or working under load. I would say just get a new set if in doubt. FD3BOOST $40???? Damn thats HELL-O-CHEAP I would say check plugs, check wires, god forbid the ignitor (Big money) Whats happening anyway to make you think its the coils? I saw you said mis-firing.... When? What RPM? Under boost? at idle? |

Hell no. Coils are expensive.
You check the resistance across the posts. Its in the shop manual |
the cheap way to do it is to use another set of *known* good coils form another car. like JTimport said, using a multimeter doesnt say what happens under load, but yes you can check resistance with a multimeter.
always replace the part in question w/ a known good one from a friend before dishing out the money to "try" if that works. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |
Where is it located in at? thanks!!
|
under the UIM.

Mine were split open. Made it surprisingly easy to check. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png
Umm, Dave, they come out to just under $1000 CDN at the dealer. |
