Bad coil?

Featured Replies

Whats a good way to test the ignition coil? I'm trying to eliminate it as a cause for poor accelaration which seems to be worsening each day. So far I have eliminated the pcv, vacuum leaks, AFM is a year old, injectors seem to be firing fine using the screwdriver test,

My suspect list:

1. Coil, i want to replace it anyway, it looks like the darn original!

2. clogged fuel screen in filter

3. shot vacuum advance

I already have a new dist. cap and new NGK plug wires whichi will replace this week. thanks

Primary and secondary test. Using an ohm meter. Sounds like you might have just blown your head gasket though?

LanceM, good point. cnixzgo has your fuel filter and fuel preesure regulator, and fuel pump?

It was a bad fuel injector, the one closest to the front. Thanks for the replies
