My friend messed up his coil wiring now car wont have spark.... I will tell him to check wiring since i notice theres a positive short to ground somewhere.... He probably mixed up some wires going to the coil now the distributor aint getting With negative battery cable disconnected i still get a 10V reading between negative terminal and the I will look for the short now

How is a regular diy guy supposed to know how many ohms we should have to know if it’s good or bad? I’m also referring to in general

I don’t have one of those fancy meters, and I don’t think my tongue will reach from one side to the other on those little posts…😂😂

What about insulation breakdown at high voltage. Resistance only tells you part of the story.

[raullinares]

do you need to disconnect the postive and negative leads from the car to test?

How do we know if bad what's the readings?

I have an Onan with two coil wire outputs. The secondary procedure should be the same for both wires? Thanks

Thanks for the video. Did you check leads prior to the check to see if they zeroed out? I believe you're supposed to subtract that number from the indicated reading.

I was able to do the 2nd part of the test with my multimeter set on the ohm setting at 20K and I got roughly 7.5k reading I think you said if it's over 5K the coil is good. So does that mean my coil is good?

Is there continuity between the pos and negative?

[clementfortin]

On the first test i get 0.9 Ohm what does that mean

[davidserna]

I’m getting zero ohms on the first part

I got 5ohms steady going 6 sometimes. is it bad or good?
