Ignition Coil Resistance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Using a DVOM, measure primary coil resistance between positive and negative terminals of coil. See Fig 1 . Measure secondary coil resistance between coil positive terminal and ignition coil tower. Primary and secondary coil resistance should be within specification. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.
