Hello-- I replaced my coil a few months ago--it was no good. The new one worked until just tonight when the car died in the driveway. I am getting no spark, no reading from my timing light hooked to the coil-dizzy. My test numbers: 3.1 ohms + to - and 12.07 kohms from either to center post (this is lower than the 15-30 kohms that is the range of normal in my vw book). Key on, I get around 11.9v or so to positive terminal on the coil. Is the coil bad? Are there things that can cause the coil to fry? Confused. |

Yep! Sending it back tomorrow. I'm wondering if other people have had problems with hot-spark units failing? |
