Very good demonstration. But you can have a coil that works perfectly fine at low rpm and or when cold, that overheats and breaks down at high rpm. Back in college we had a rig that was essentially a spark plug and a set of points with an electric motor actuating them. You plug the coil in and leave it. Ten minutes later, if it was getting really hot and or the spark broke down when revved up, you knew it was bad.

High voltage present. Risk of electric shock. If you have health challenge like heart problems or wearing cardiac pacemaker, epilepsy etc., don't try it or consult you doctor

i subbed and thumbs up. fast no sorry music or long drawn out yapping..just straight to the point..now i will be able to test my two coils quickly. thanks a billion

Gret video thanks, even I understand it....

Thank you! I am trying to understand why my 1947 John Deere B won't start. I know it is getting fuel to the plugs so, must be spark. It can only be three elements: Fuel, Air, and Spark

Sorry but you need a OHM tester to test for resistance !! What your doing is testing for spark not necessarily enough spark to run an engine properly !!!

trying to bring my 1970 gmc back to life and have a feeling the coil isn’t giving spark, can’t wait to go home from work today and try this out 😊 GREAT

No talking, just action. I love to see it.

easier way: connect a aa battery on one of the outer 2 contacts then put one finger in the middle contact and another finger on one of the outer 2 contacts. then connect and disconnect the AA battery to see if you get a shock while disconnecting.

This man knows what he's doing!
Great video, I dig how you did not flap your teeth covers the entire time like most youtubers

[liveandlearnwithmike]

So if you get no spark at the spare plug is the coil bad then?

[JRH]

Awesome and I didn't haver to listen why you painted your car that color!

[thewholls]

Yes I suppose that is a test of sorts but you need to remember that ignition coil it’s boosting 12 V to about 20, 000 V using a magnet immersed in oil it fires every time the points open in the distributor and as the motor is revving 2000 and 3000 RPM things get hot on the under the Bonnet the metal and components in the coil can expand under heat and internal defects or cracks etc can lead to the ignition breaking down so the bench test your performed is one thing but it’s room temperature low rpm it’s not a particularly arduous test

I think I’d be inclined just to buy a new coil to be honest

When you have problems with your ignition, the coil is rarely the problem, I have worked on it for years, as a professional

[nealastle]

Excellent! I have a 1981 Renault 4 that was not sparking. I followed the instructions in this video, and was able to confirm that the coil was indeed working.

[pauljanssen]

Haha you don't know what you're doing 😉 you don't know how to test a coil first off everything you have is right but and I'll say that word again but you have to use the temperature in between the coil negative and ground just like points distributor work no capacitor no spark. older repair manual people of the right way of testing ignition coil. And I'll add this one for free if you have a blue Violet spark that means you capacitors red or yellow capacitor not too good.

There is a much easier way to find out. just take the coil out of the vehicle put up against the block the head whatever start it up and watch it arch... The only thing you will get is a mis fire.. LoL.... Well This is good for testing purposes if your working in a plant or a shop, with a customer base. When its just you, thats the easiest and best way, Just dont leave your vehicle running for to long just long enough to see it work.

[lovingmylifeasIage]

I just checked my coils this way. I didn't see a lot of spark but I did see some.

[ÇollenMašitiši]

Hi guys I need help my uno 1100 doesn't start just cranking what can be any idea

[mauriziogreco]

but what do you want to prove? write Something. It's not clear what you want to demonstrate
