I just purchased a new 1844 'Ignitor' module. I read the instructions and installed it in the distributor.
I attempted to test the module with a Fluke VOM to verify it provides a pulse. I get a continuous reading of .2387 meg-ohms and the value does not change when the shaft is rotated by hand (yes, magnetic trigger ring is completely seated on the cam shaft). Does the module require 12vDC to see a pulse? ... or is it possible that this module is defective out of the box? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  |
