Removal
1. The ignition coil is installed on the inner panel of the right wing, behind the ignition control unit (see illustration).
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Disconnect the high tension wire from the ignition coil.
4. Note the locations of the low voltage connections on the ignition coil, then disconnect them.
5. Loosen the mounting nuts and remove the ignition coil. Note the location of the ground strap under one of the nuts.
Examination
6. You can check the ignition coil for proper operation without removing it, but first disconnect the wiring from the coil.
7. Using a multimeter, check the resistance of the primary winding (between the "+" and "-" terminals) and the secondary winding (between the "+" terminal of the primary winding and the high-voltage terminal of the secondary winding). No values are given in the Specifications, but a typical resistance for the primary winding is about 0.5 ohms, and for the secondary winding - 5000 ohms. If infinite resistance is observed (chain break), the ignition coil is faulty.
8. The defective coil should be replaced.
Installation
9. Install in the reverse order of removal.
