What to do if your ignition coil is on fire?
Replace the coil with a good quality new one, make sure you attach and tighten the leads correctly, plug in the top cable that goes to the distributor, turn the key and you should be good to go!
What to do if your outboard ignition coil is dropping?
Connect an inductive Tachometer to all cylinders and try to isolate the problem. If two cylinders on the same end of the switch box are dropping out, the problem is likely going to be either the switch box or trigger. A single cylinder dropping fire will likely be the switch box or ignition coil.
What happens if there is no spark in the ignition coil?
Hence, without this high voltage, there is no spark and, consequently, internal combustion cannot take place within the engine. Simply put, the bottom line is without spark the engine doesn’t run.
What to do if there is no spark at the ignition coil?
Check for voltage output at the ignition coil. Disconnect the ignition coil wire from the distributor and install the spark tester to the wire and ground the tester to the engine. Crank the engine for a few seconds. If there’s spark, the problem is with the distributor cap or rotor.
How do you hook up an ignition coil?
Connect the negative coil lead wire to the negative (-) terminal of the coil. Insert the high tension lead wire into the center post of the coil making sure it fully seats. Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. Turn the ignition to the “on” or “run” position but do not start the vehicle.
How can I tell if my ignition coil is on fire?
Have someone crank the engine and observe the center electrode of the plug — if there’s sufficient voltage reaching the plug, you should see a bright blue spark jump across the gap of the electrode every time that cylinder fires. If you see no spark, the coil is a good thing to suspect next.
What happens if the ignition coil is reversed?
If the test lamp illuminates on the negative terminal the wires are reversed. Do not start the engine if the terminal wires are reversed on the coil or damage to the ignition may result.
