To identify a faulty coil, you can perform a resistance test using a multimeter. Measure the resistance across the coil terminals; a significantly higher or lower reading than the manufacturer's specifications indicates a problem. Additionally, visual inspection for physical damage, corrosion, or overheating signs can help determine if the coil is faulty. If the coil is part of a system, monitoring performance issues like misfires or poor ignition can also signal a fault.

It is faulty
How can I troubleshoot a faulty lawn mower ignition coil?
To troubleshoot a faulty lawn mower ignition coil, first check for loose or damaged connections. Next, test the coil with a multimeter to see if it is producing the correct amount of electrical resistance. If the coil is not functioning properly, it may need to be replaced.

yes
How do you know when your pick up coil is bad?
You can determine if your pickup coil is bad by checking for symptoms like difficulty starting the engine, intermittent stalling, or poor engine performance. Additionally, using a multimeter to measure the resistance of the coil can help; if the readings are outside the manufacturer’s specified range, the coil may be faulty. Lastly, if the ignition system is not producing a spark, the pickup coil could be the culprit.
What causes a coil to malfunction?
coil makes enough juice ( Amp) to spark the spark plugs. A faulty spark plug stops the coil to empty all the juices it has made and this makes the coil itself goes bad.
