it looks like I possibly jumped the gun and blamed the sparkplug wires for my lack of juice to the plugs.....I tried two different coils, both oil-filled stock type units, when I triggered the coils manually and held the coil wire to ground, the spark produced was in my opinion very weak
I picked up a known good Bosch coil that i will test later on this evening (doing honeydo's right now or at least i am supposed to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) |

Best test for a coil is to swap with a new unit. It's not such a bad idea to have a spare, anyway.
I've got an LCR meter so I can test a coil, IF, I know what the primary and secondary inductances are supposed to be. So, I still have to have a spare coil! |
