Ignition Coil Power Source & Ground

  1. Disconnect 3-pin ignition coil connector. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and terminal "1" (Red wire) of ignition coil connector.
  2. If voltage is present, go to next step. If voltage is not present, check continuity of entire circuit between battery and ignition coil, including fusible link and ignition switch.
  3. Turn ignition off. Check continuity between ground and ignition coil connector terminal "2" (Black wire). If continuity does not exist, repair ground circuit between ignition coil connector and ground. Repeat test for remaining coils.
