To test a pickup coil, first ensure the ignition system is off and disconnect the coil's wiring harness. Use a multimeter set to the resistance (ohms) setting to measure the resistance across the coil terminals; refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the acceptable range. If the resistance is significantly outside this range or shows an open circuit, the coil may be faulty. Additionally, you can check for proper voltage when the engine is cranked to confirm its operational status.

How do you check pick-up coil?
To check a pick-up coil, use a multimeter to measure its resistance. Disconnect the coil from the wiring harness, then set the multimeter to the ohms setting and probe the coil terminals. A typical reading should be within the manufacturer’s specifications; if it's significantly higher or shows an open circuit, the coil may be faulty. Additionally, you can test for proper operation by checking for voltage output while cranking the engine, ensuring it produces a signal.

How do you test a pick up coil for a 94 Dakota?
To test the pick-up coil on a 1994 Dakota, first, locate it within the distributor. Use a multimeter set to the resistance (ohms) setting and measure the resistance across the coil's terminals; a typical reading should be between 500 to 2,000 ohms. If the resistance is significantly outside this range, or if the coil shows an open circuit, it may need replacement. Additionally, you can check for proper signal output while cranking the engine using an oscilloscope or a spark tester.
One of the answers said to replace the pick up coil- what is it and where is it thanks?
The pick up coil is located at the base of the distributor and plugs into the ignition module. The pick up coil's purpose is to sense or "pick up" the pulses of the distributor and tell the ignition module when to fire the spark plugs. The most critical part of the replacement of the pick up coil is to make certain you properly mark the orientation of the distributor to the engine block and the rotor to the distributor base. When you successfully make these markings, you will not need to check your timing when this job is finished.
How do you install a pickup coil on a 96 GMC sierra V8?
96 gmc does not have a pick up coil but the coil is monted to the intake removed by two bolts pick up is in the dis. removed by pulling the dis. then by taking a part
Where is pick up coil on 1999 dodge ram?
In the distributor.
How do you determine if your pick up coil is bad Im getting no spark and have narrowed it to the pick up coil or the ign module but dont wann abuy both if only ones bad How can i check?
to save time and money the best way to find the problem is to have diagnostic test done this way here you want have any doubts if you remove the module (not too hard). autozone and other places like that can test it for you for free. if its good then you know to replace the pick up coil. if its bad then you know to replace the module. you can aslo test the coil with a multimeter but i would guess that you dont have one and this would be a lot more work... I like to pull a known good module from another truck, I have had gm modules pass the bench test that were actually bad, so you end up chasing your tail looking for other problems when there are none.
