I believe a coil can test good with a multimeter and still be bad. But if it tests bad, it is. I recently had an issue with the coil on my old Cub Cadet and it tested good but still would not run right, or it would run a little while then quit. So I took my 914 coil and mounted it on there and it worked.
So I just bought a new coil to put on the car. |
