Does it not often shown up faults? impossible to test the secondary part of the coil in situ, if you have the right equipment to bench test then great, most wont. paying somebody to do it...may as well buy new ones.

Yeah righto I thought it was just a test the primary and secondary sides with a multimeter and compare ohm readings to new coils type of deal. Obviously doesn't work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it's pretty much impossible to properly test the secondary of a COP setup in situ. The best way to test them is actually via OBD and log mftot (total missfires) If your plugs are a known quantity it can only be 1 other thing. In saying that in some rare cases its actually the coil driver, new pcm aint cheap so id do the coils first. My fg felt a bit crap, logged 50 missfires in a half hour trip. replaced coils, 0 in half our trip. Not fool proof though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
