Ignition Coil Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1998 Acura Integra, 1998 Acura 3.5RL, 1998 Acura 3.2TL, 1998 Acura 3.0CL, and 1998 Acura 2.5TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition off. Remove distributor cap. Remove screws and disconnect Black/Yellow wire and White/Black wire from coil. Measure primary winding resistance between primary terminals "A+" and "B-" on ignition coil. See Fig 1. Resistance should be 0.45-0.55 ohm at 68°F (20°C).
  2. Measure secondary winding resistance between coil terminal "A+" and secondary terminal (coil tower). Resistance should be 16,800-25,200 ohms at 68°F (20°C). Replace coil if resistance is not within specifications.
