This set-up ain't working on my Peugeot 308, following your method exactly - test light touching trigger wire , plug grounded, ignition on. Dead as a door nail on all 4 coils! All coils working in the car. What's up here??
What year & engine is in this vehicle? Do you have a wiring diagram to ensure you are testing this correctly? Have you been able to figure out which wires are positive, ground and trigger? Is this style using a feedback circuit or a double ground circuit? ruclips.net/video/CiJgEIPLcIE/видео.html
2009 Peugeot 308, petrol. No wiring diag; Yes have figured out which wires are positive, ground and trigger; cannot find an answer to: "Is this style using a feedback circuit or a double ground circuit"? i'll keep exploring... thanks!
@@lloyd-qt1mg So are you using a multimeter for your testing? Without a wiring diagram it can be hard to be definite. Sorry, I may have mislead you on the last comment. I was referring to a 4-wire coil. Now back to your 3-wire coils. Do you have 12 volts at your power wire. A good ground wire. Both of these should be voltage drop tested. Does the 3rd wire (trigger wire) have a pulsing signal? Are there any fault codes? Is the crank angle sensor working correctly?
Hey Greg, If you mean can you pull apart and repair the individual coil, then no. They are encased in resin and made up of thousands of turns of copper wire.
I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you having no spark issues? What sort of vehicle? Which wires are you testing? Are your voltages and grounds in good condition?
@@MiracleMAX yes no spark! I tried the same method your doing on a 3 wire ignition coil and nothing sparks and my light tester turns on on but no spark
@@Kevvoo5.0 If you are testing the control wire, then you are not getting switching from the ECU or ignition module. Are you testing this on the vehicle or on the bench?
What would you say if things are good until the car is fully warmed up and driven around a bit. Then it starts to fumble and misfire on multiple. 🤬 cylinders
@MiracleMAX I just noticed my fuel tank preasure is neg 1 psi. That can't be good. The scanner also reads low fuel velocity. Maybe there's a venting issue.
Great concise video, delivered in a refreshing Aussie accent.
Cheers Mate, thanks!
Well done buddy, great options for testing 👍💪
Thanks mate!
Great videos to understand how it's work
Thanks, there are quite a few videos in the 'Ignition' playlist that might interest you. 👍
Good info with multiple testing options. Thanks MM.
Cheers Nigel, thanks for your comment
thank you
You're welcome
Great tip, Thanks Max 👍
Cheers Mate. 😁
Thank you. Good info
Thanks 😉
You might find some other interesting videos in my ignition playlist.

Very good video. Great info.
Thanks ok boomer. 😊

can you fix them
Hey Greg,

Let’s say I connect the ground the spark and my test light turns on but no spark

@@konstantin-big the key needed reprogram 🤣

What testing have you done so far? Do you have any fault codes?
@MiracleMAX I just noticed my fuel tank preasure is neg 1 psi. That can't be good. The scanner also reads low fuel velocity. Maybe there's a venting issue.
@@JCGible Is the fuel cap valving working correctly? Is the evap system working correctly?
@@MiracleMAX I will check today. I have no codes. Thanks
