testing the starter
REMOVAL PROCEDURE Remove the engine cover. Disconnect the spark plug wires at the ignition coils. Disconnect the ignition coil harness connector. Remove the ignition coil mounting bolts. Remove the ignition coil. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Install the ignition coil to the bracket. Install the ignition coil mounting bolts. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Tighten Tighten the ignition coil mounting bolts to 8 N.m (71 lb in) . Connect the ignition coil harness connector. Connect the spark plug wires at the ignition coils. Install the engine cover.
Each spark plug has it's own ignition coil, they are on the spark plug itself. Unplug the ignition coil connector, remove the bolt holding the coil in place, pull the coil off of the spark plug and out of the valve cover. Install the new coil.
Ignition coil is bad, is it right on top of the cap maybe a bad wire in the wirng harness or bad connector.
Ignition coils are easily accessable on top of the engine. Disconnect the electrical connector, unscrew the bolts (2 per coil, torx T-25), pull the coil straight out. Cylinder numbers are: Pass side, front to back - 1, 3, 5. Driver side, front to back - 2, 4, 6.
I would suspect the coil itself, even with the wire connecting to the distributor cap removed, you should still see a spark from the connector on the coil to the body of the coil itself
If you see no center coil wire connector then the coil is mounted inside the distributor. If there is a center coil wire connecter then follow the coil wire and it will go to the coil.
Follow the 2 pin connector from the top of the coil located on the driver side front of the distributor. It should lead to a 2 pin connector, as well as a 4 pin connector. This is the ignition control module.
is very simple, just remove the plastic cover from the engine, locate the ignition coil that you want to replace, but before you disconnect the ignition coil disconnect one terminal from the battery and make sure that doesn't touch the chassis from the car and then disconnect the wires connector from the ignition coil and remove the two scrawls from the ignition coil and install the new one and make sure you replaced the washer that goes at the baton of the coil and reconnect the wires connector back and reconnect back the terminal from the battery on some times went you disconnect the battery your radio may go into safe code make sure you have the code to reprogram you radio again before you do this procedure
on the sides of the valve covers.... their are 4, they are black in color, they each have a 2 pin connector on them.
Unplug the connector on the base of the coil. Remove the bolt that holds the coil in place. Pull the coil and spark plug boot off the spark plug. Install new coil in reverse order.
The ignition coil is inside the ignition distributor.
