I have a 74 2.0 with the blue bosch coil
I wanna test my coil. What are the ohm numbers I need to see between which points? Wich wire is ground? Is the other getting 12V? Side question: Whats the threat on the oil drain plug? |

The only real test is to bolt on a new one and see if the problem goes away. You should have close to zero ohms between the LT connections (1, 15 or +,-). Most coil problems arise when they are hot and aren't a dead short. So testing with an ohm meter isn't helpful.
The only true test is to use a scope on the engine while it's running and analyze the feedback, which takes expensive equipment and extensive knowledge. |
