    Default How to check ignition coils on 95 SR

    I may have some faulty coil packs, and im just wondering how i go about testing them

    I know you can buy an ignition spark tester and hook it up to a coil to see if it sparks, but ive heard this can sometimes be unreliable
    I think you can use a voltmeter and do some measurement, and im wondering where and how you measure

    Im hoping someone can share their experience with testing coil packs

    Thanks

    I haven't checked but maybe there's a procedure in the FSM?

    EDIT: Nevermind. Check your post on the 'wire. I think it's already been answered there.
