What should the resistance of an ignition coil be?
Switch the meter’s resistance range to the 20K-ohm setting and attach the negative (black) meter lead to the center terminal of the coil. The reading here should be 11.00 or better, with 13.49 being about normal. If your coil reads under 11.00, then chances are pretty good that this is the reason you’re not getting any spark or a very weak one.
What kind of car stalls after engine heats up?
The Chevrolet Cavalier is a compact automobile produced from 1982 to 2005 by General Motors. car starts and runs fine until engine heats up to operating tempature, then it stalls, it will restart but keeps stalling until engine cools down. What can cause this? Answered!
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 happens when you replace the coil wire on an engine?
You can replace the secondary coil wire on an engine that uses one with an equal length of vacuum hose and the engine will start and run. The powerful spark will travel down the hollow hose to the distributor cap, but the engine will stall under any load because of the weakened spark.

What kind of ignition coil does a corvette have?
The coils on early Corvettes are black cylindrical devices; starting in 1975 the coil per se as a discrete cylindrical device was abandoned when GM made the switch to HEI breakerless ignition systems.
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.
Why did my 1963 Corvette engine not start?
Simply put, the bottom line is without spark the engine doesn’t run. So that’s why when my 1963 Corvette kept cranking but wouldn’t start, after making sure there was fuel entering the engine, the next thing to check was that there was spark to ignite the fuel.
