2. INSPECT PRIMARY COIL RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
positive (+I and negative (-1 terminals.
Primary coil resistance (cold): 0.3 - 0.5 R
NOTE: Because is inside the coil, it is impossible to
measure secondary coil resistance.
3. INSPECT IGNITION COIL GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the ignition coil terminal and body ground.
4. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE IGNITION COIL
Using a hexagon key wrench 3 mm (0.12 in.), replace the
ignition coil.
