Ignition Coil Resistance

1994 Plymouth Sundance Base, 2D Hatchback, 2.2 D, AutomaticSECTION Ignition Coil Resistance
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. Measure primary coil resistance between ignition coil terminals No. 1 and 3, and between terminals No. 2 and 3. See Fig 1 . Primary resistance should be .70-.86 ohm.
    CAUTION: Ensure ignition coil connector is disconnected before measuring secondary coil resistance.
  2. Measure secondary coil resistance between high voltage tower terminals for cylinders No. 1 and 4, and between high voltage tower terminals for cylinders No. 2 and 3. See Fig 1 . Secondary resistance should be 11,300-15,300 ohms. Replace ignition coil if it does not test as described.
