What to do if ignition coil has two spark plugs?

What to do if ignition coil has two spark plugs?

Check the secondary resistance between the two spark plug caps if the ignition coil has two spark plug wires. Also check the resistance with the caps removed from the wires if specified. Replace the ignition coil, spark plug wire, or caps as necessary if the resistance is out of specification.

Do you need an alignment after replacing shocks?

In general, you’re less likely to need an alignment after replacing shocks. But there are exceptions to that generalization. For example, most automakers recommend performing an alignment on cars that use a short/long-arm front suspension (the design houses the shock inside the spring).

What kind of signal does a pickup coil need?

For example a blue/white signal wire from the pickup coil needs to have continuity between its terminal where it connects to the harness from the coil, and its terminal where the harness connects to the ECM.

Do you need to replace the exciter coil?

The crank position sensor and exciter coil often must be replaced with the stator as an assembly. Inspect the ignition system related switches for correct continuity according to the service manual or wiring diagram. This usually includes the main (ignition) switch, engine stop switch, and side stand switch.

How do you replace a pick up coil?

Remove the distributor from the engine. Remove the rotor and disconnect the pick-up coil leads from the module as described in the Ignition Module section. Connect an ohmmeter to each terminal of the pick-up coil connector or wire and ground (one terminal at a time). The ohmmeter should indicate infinite resistance.

In general, you’re less likely to need an alignment after replacing shocks. But there are exceptions to that generalization. For example, most automakers recommend performing an alignment on cars that use a short/long-arm front suspension (the design houses the shock inside the spring).

What should the ohmmeter be on a pick up coil?

The ohmmeter should indicate one steady value within the 500 to 1500 ohm range as the wires are flexed. If it doesn’t, the pick-up coil is defective. If the pick-up coil fails either test. replace it. Replacing Mark the distributor shaft and gear so they can be reassembled in the same relationship.

Is it possible to tune your suspension with alignment?

If you have noticed Mercedes, BMW, or an Audi’ front ends when turning tight to park, you will see a lot of positive caster. Just like high performance tuning of engines, you can do a high performance “tuning” of your suspension with alignment.

Why does my ignition system have no spark?

If the wire doesn’t have continuity on both sides of the harness there is a open circuit and the ignition system will act as if the pickup coil is faulty though it is actually a wiring problem. Part 2 of dealing with no spark ignition system problems will go further into detail on component inspection.

What is the ignition coil wiring diagram for a 1979 F Series truck?

No spark archive squarebirds rocketbirds. 1973 1979 f 100 larger f series trucks ignition coil wiring hello i bought a 79 f100 with a 460 swap. You are right below. You can find the 1992 1993 ignition system wiring diagram here.

Where can I find an ignition coil wiring diagram?

Wiring diagram for ignition coil more information find this pin and more on 63 f100 wiring by ben platt. Automotive wiring diagram resistor to coil connect to distributor wiring diagram for ignition coil.

Check the secondary resistance between the two spark plug caps if the ignition coil has two spark plug wires. Also check the resistance with the caps removed from the wires if specified. Replace the ignition coil, spark plug wire, or caps as necessary if the resistance is out of specification.

What to do if there is no spark at the coil?

Test for voltage from the ignition switch at the positive side of the coil. Refer to the above image. If there’s no voltage, check the wire between the ignition switch and the coil and, if necessary, the switch itself. If there’s voltage, the problem may be with the pickup unit.

If the wire doesn’t have continuity on both sides of the harness there is a open circuit and the ignition system will act as if the pickup coil is faulty though it is actually a wiring problem. Part 2 of dealing with no spark ignition system problems will go further into detail on component inspection.
