No, what you outta do, is just unplug one at a time, until you get to one that doesn't change how the car is running as much or at all - that's your bad one.

lol i did that once but did it from the distributor on my ford probe got shocked everyfrikin time. boys was i pissed... but it worked

you guys pulling plug wires on a dis system is sooooo bad for it. buy a cheap spark plug and jumper wire set with aligator clips put one wire from the coil to the top of the plug one from the tread to the block and test that way. Yes you can ohm out the coil packs.

[triskit527]

how many ohms should the coil packs read?

[lozanoa11]

tower to tower like 12k ohms about +/- 5k and the pins on the bottem like .5 to 1.5 ohms use a paper clip for the bottem ones. not 100% on the specs sorry close to that should be good.

thanks man, what do you from tower to tower, on a multi meeter i should just hook up the + to the coil pack and then just ground my negative lead from my multi meeter on the engine right?

[lozanoa11]

one on one tower on on the other polarity doesnt matter

check the coil pak terminals for corrosion

[lozanoa11]

the spec for tower to tower is 5-8k ohms.
