What do I need to test my coil pack?

You need to use ohm meter to test the coil pack for continuity. Make sure you have the approximate ohm values for the coil pack. To find this information, research your car’s engine on the Internet or purchase a Chilton’s or Haynes manual to find out what the mega ohms reading on the coil pack should be.

What are the symptoms of a faulty coil pack?

The usual signs of a faulty coil pack are: The ignition coils are reliable but they can fail for various reasons such as vibration and extreme heat. However, voltage overload caused by plug wires or bad spark plugs is the most common reason for their failure.

Where does the voltage from the coil pack go?

When the electronic control module (the car computer) sends the signal to the ignition control, the voltage is released from the coil pack through the spark plug cables to the spark plug.

When is the distributor replaced by the coil pack?

When the energy reaches the spark plugs, it starts the combustion process. In more modern cars today, the distributor is replaced by the coil pack. This is typically because the coil pack is more reliable and consistent than the distributor.
