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.

JT-Imports 12-01-2003 12:24 AM

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?

I am I wrong Jason?

I was under the impression that you can get some for real cheap.

Hell no. Coils are expensive.



You check the resistance across the posts. Its in the shop manual

rxrotary2_7 12-01-2003 10:54 AM

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!!

jspecracer7 12-01-2003 03:15 PM

under the UIM.

TYSON 12-01-2003 05:21 PM

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.
