Ignition System
Ignition Coil Test
1. T u r n the ignition switch OFF, and remove the
distributor cap.
2. Disconnect the BLK/YEL and WHT/BLK (WHT/BLU
for the F23A5 engine) wires f r o m terminals A ( + )
and B ( —) respectively.
F23A1, F23A4 engines:
A
3. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between
the terminals. Replace the coil if the resistance is
not w i t h i n specifications.
NOTE: Resistance will vary w i t h the coil
temperature; specifications are at 68°F <20°C).
Primary W i n d i n g Resistance
(Between t h e A and B terminals):
F23A1, F23A4 engines:
0.45 - 0 . 5 5 Q
F23A5 engine:
0.63 ~~ 0.77 Q
Secondary W i n d i n g Resistance
(Between t h e A and Secondary W i n d i n g terminals)
F23A1, F23A4 engines.
1 6 . 8 - 25.2 k Q
F23A5 engine:
12.8 - 1 9 . 2 k Q
F23A5 engine:
4-24
