WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Laser and 1994 Eagle Talon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect ignition coil connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure primary coil resistance between ignition coil terminals No. 2 and 3. Perform TEST 1. See Fig 1 . Also, measure resistance between ignition coil connector terminals No. 1 and 3. Primary resistance should be .70-.86 ohm at 68°F (20°C).
  2. With ignition coil connector still disconnected, measure secondary coil resistance. Measure resistance between high-voltage terminals for cylinders No. 1 and 4, and between high-voltage terminals for cylinders No. 2 and 3. Perform TEST 2. See Fig 1 .
  3. Secondary resistance should be 11,300-15,300 ohms. Replace ignition coil if it does not test as described.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
