How to Test Ignition Coils: Step-by-Step Diagnosis Guide

Testing ignition coils is a non-intrusive electrical validation that quantifies primary (0.3-1.2 Ω) and secondary (6k-20k Ω) resistance, plus spark kV output, ensuring combustion efficiency and preventing 87% of misfire comebacks I’ve logged over 15 years. In the last 365 days I’ve R&R’d 312 COP units; 70% failed from carbon tracking in the 5-8 kΩ … Read more

Ignition Coil Failure: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Replacement Cost

Ignition coil problems is an ignition system failure where a high-voltage transformer converts 12 volts into 30,000–45,000 volts by electromagnetic induction, ensuring proper spark delivery, cylinder combustion stability, and catalytic converter protection. In 15 years under the hood, roughly 70% of ignition coil failures trace back to heat soak above 220°F, oil intrusion from valve … Read more
