trying to bring my 1970 gmc back to life and have a feeling the coil isn’t giving spark, can’t wait to go home from work today and try this out 😊 GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!
Excellent! I have a 1981 Renault 4 that was not sparking. I followed the instructions in this video, and was able to confirm that the coil was indeed working.
i subbed and thumbs up. fast no sorry music or long drawn out yapping..just straight to the point..now i will be able to test my two coils quickly. thanks a billion
Absolutely great video, def would’ve appreciated u talking it through bc I’ve got comprehension issues so I had to watch ur video 7-8x to make sure I did it right, but I figured it out and worked great!!
Not having ever done it before, I tested my coil with a vote meter for resistance and it seemed to come in within specs, my problem was the coil wire to the distributor had no continuity. I did not know these fail, but I am not a mechanic. New wire and vehicle runs fine now. + to - less than 5. And + to coil contact between 20 and 5 K ohms . My results were 1.3 and 10k
easier way: connect a aa battery on one of the outer 2 contacts then put one finger in the middle contact and another finger on one of the outer 2 contacts. then connect and disconnect the AA battery to see if you get a shock while disconnecting.
@Fayan TV If you have health challenge like heart problems or wearing cardiac pacemaker, epilepsy etc., don't try it or consult you doctor. High voltage present, risk dysfunction of medical devices and health
I have 3 coils here, and 2 are brand new, both Lucas, for a 1.6 Ford crossflow, set both up following this carefully, I have full batter and it turns the engine over now probs, but I get no spark either are the plug or on the ground leads when I test. What could that be!!
Yes I suppose that is a test of sorts but you need to remember that ignition coil it’s boosting 12 V to about 20,000 V using a magnet immersed in oil it fires every time the points open in the distributor and as the motor is revving 2000 and 3000 RPM things get hot on the under the Bonnet the metal and components in the coil can expand under heat and internal defects or cracks etc can lead to the ignition breaking down so the bench test your performed is one thing but it’s room temperature low rpm it’s not a particularly arduous test I think I’d be inclined just to buy a new coil to be honest
@Help from the Garage High voltage present. Risk of electric shock. If you have health challenge like heart problems or wearing cardiac pacemaker, epilepsy etc., don't try it or consult you doctor
Thank you! I am trying to understand why my 1947 John Deere B won't start. I know it is getting fuel to the plugs so, must be spark. It can only be three elements: Fuel, Air, and Spark
@@jesseycoolen4169 Did you get an answer to this question? I've tested mine and get a spark from touching the wire to body of spark plug but the spark plug isn't sparking? Does this mean something is bad or is that normal?
@@PublicWebVideos so you get a spark from the cable but not from the spark plug? Than the solution is easy, you need a new spark plug (don't forget to adjust the gap)
My friends has an older corvette with CDI and all the coils that are suppose to work crap out after a couple of 100 miles. All the coils have different ohms so.
Sorry but you need a OHM tester to test for resistance !! What your doing is testing for spark not necessarily enough spark to run an engine properly !!!
Hello I see lot peopel use relays for ignition coils. Can some one describe me if I still need to use resistor or culd I use potenciometer insted? What ralay rating I need and how to calculate resistor for ignition coil. Me car is Opel tipical GM lay out but I use inductive trigger/4pin gm ignition module and e core type 4pin ignition coil. So Im not shure if me ignition coil wuld work with relay or not. Im not shure what runs it honestly alternator field wire or positive linear voltage regulator inside me dashboard Im not shure their wire harnest lay out is preaty much confuseing. Also I have cold start problems thats why I mentioned potenciometer I dont get enough voltage to the ignition coil and the 4pin gm ignition module do not have retarding option only wacum and spring load advance . So can some one help me please give advice how to solve this problem. Im doing the entire wire harnest be me self and I desire wire harnest that is heavely protected against static and arcing. I use 3 4 6 pin relays so wuld like to know where and what type of diode rating shuld I use. And was curiuse to know If I culd use heavy gage non stranded wire insted ? Originaly I wanted to use buss bars for ground and positive conection to avoid corrosion and futher problems with me car and make evry curcuet seperate so they do not interact with ich other. In the past I hade flat or over charged baterrys,back feading alternator,relays interactions,dual filament bulbs and xenon bulbs interacting with me wire harnest car refuse to shut off engine,self acelerates,gives electric shock,and lot other unusual effects who are anoying. So any one has ideas I wuld like to try out.
There is a much easier way to find out. just take the coil out of the vehicle put up against the block the head whatever start it up and watch it arch... The only thing you will get is a mis fire.. LoL.... Well This is good for testing purposes if your working in a plant or a shop, with a customer base. When its just you, thats the easiest and best way, Just dont leave your vehicle running for to long just long enough to see it work.
So weird, I had the same setup today (with a brand new coil) and I couldn't get spark with my makeshift spark tester (just a generic plug with an alligator clip soldered to it). Man, in the old days when I was a trained electronics guy working on cars I bench tested coils all the time this way and only ever found a few bad ones...I think I'm turning into Joe "biff" Biden...🤣
don't feel alone, I've forgotten everything I never knew about nothing, especially for cars. Going through a hard cold starting 200 6cyl. in my 64 Ranchero, One thing at a time; fuel, spark, batt., pump, etc. Looking at a mis-match with my old coil and my HEI electronic distributor but think there is a more a mis-match between my old brain and the understanding of what needs to be done, or not done!! LOL ;D
Haha you don't know what you're doing 😉 you don't know how to test a coil first off everything you have is right but and I'll say that word again but you have to use the temperature in between the coil negative and ground just like points distributor work no capacitor no spark. older repair manual people of the right way of testing ignition coil. And I'll add this one for free if you have a blue Violet spark that means you capacitors red or yellow capacitor not too good.
therez no info that woukd place you onto a head breaking endless search forva code sequence noone has any awareness of tge only 2ay to find out is if you tried it found it and had nothing else to claim you rejected the info i sav3d before it was destroyed and its what people get whipe they tried to succeed

Fantastic demo very clear result, please do a demo on how the igniter or the transistor could be tested
All i can say is thank you

thanks. your demo helped me test my coil.
I just checked my coils this way. I didn't see a lot of spark but I did see some.

So if you get no spark at the spare plug is the coil bad then?

Awesome and I didn't haver to listen why you painted your car that color!
Omg so 👍
Thanks that's amazing great video channel I like it nice ideas
Thanks a lot! I am very pleased!
It sparks but is the spark strong enough? It looks ptetty weak.
I guess that's only works for DC coils not AC types?
Thank you! I am trying to understand why my 1947 John Deere B won't start. I know it is getting fuel to the plugs so, must be spark. It can only be three elements: Fuel, Air, and Spark
4: and compression...
Time
But what happens of you just hold it there, does it give spark all the time?
No
What do you mean by + or 15? Does this mean it should be 15 volts
Positive terminal or also known as terminal 15. Correct me if I'm wrong but terminal 15 is 12v when ignition on and terminal 30 is always 12v
How would test a four coil one from a 1997 f150 4.6L. Can u make a video
Best video.
Nice video. Thanks
If the spark plug does not spark
Does that mean coil is bad ?
Could also be a broken spark plug or the gap is too wide, or could be a broken cable but it's easy to check if the cable is broken

Why his testing look like the spark is higher than the spark plug terminal ??? It should see the higher spark at the end of spark plug ,
Good sir
Great
All right....
Unfortunately all I know now it isn't the coil.
CDI ignition coils need minimum 100v pulse and do not spark with 12v battery
An ignition coil like that one ups the voltage from 12 to 20kv
My friends has an older corvette with CDI and all the coils that are suppose to work crap out after a couple of 100 miles. All the coils have different ohms so.
Sorry but you need a OHM tester to test for resistance !! What your doing is testing for spark not necessarily enough spark to run an engine properly !!!
