I'm puzzled - one of my coils is not working. When I use it, the car won't run.
Took it off. Measure the inductance, primary & secondary resistance. Everything is in spec.
How can a coil measures ok but doesn't work?

Hi Hobieboy
Yeah funny things coils.
Cans of oiled paper that borrow voltage
then give it back in a big rush ,,hehehe
Substitution being the best test process I feel.
Lots to do with back emf and magnetic flux ,
static tests can not effectivly show us health
or performance breakdown issues hidden inside.
Buy a pair of good high quality replacements and
you wont look back .
I've just fitted a new Bosch gt40rt to my car
to put my 8mm leads to goodwork
(got to love that good aussie Bosch gear.)
