Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Probably a dumb question...replaced my coils and plugs as they hadn't been changed yet (MY2002) and I had my mufflers off anyway to be Fister-ed.

Suggestion
Without actually starting the car, the best way to test your coil packs would be to ensure the measured resistance is within manufacturer's spec.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Probably a dumb question...replaced my coils and plugs as they hadn't been changed yet (MY2002) and I had my mufflers off anyway to be Fister-ed. I was hoping that there was a way I can test the coils without starting the car. Since it is in storage in my basement and it has no mufflers. Can I do this with the Durametric somehow? I wasnt able to figure anything clever out. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Without actually starting the car, the best way to test your coil packs would be to ensure the measured resistance is within manufacturer's spec. I don't know what spec is - but Googling should help. https://www.renntech.org/forums/topi...pack-question/

POST 3Original post

The spec is "Resistance between pin 1 and pin 3 of the coil at 20�C: 0.3 - 0.7 ohms." in one of Loren's reply. If those are original coils, they are on their last legs anyways so may as well replace them preemptively.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
