Ignition coils are generally external while pick up coils are generally internal to distributor

The ignition module, Ignition coil, Pick-up coil bad coil wire.
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.
NO it does not. If it's not firing then you need to check the ignition module, pick-up coil and the coil. Could just have a bad coil wire......
I have 1994 GMC 1500 with 305 mother if you cut the wire that comes from your ignition to the coil can it stop you from having fire to your
follow the wires back from the spark plug it usually goesm back to where the coil is
if you do not have spark you will not have fuel check coil module and ignition pick up coil.
It is most likely the pick-up coil "inside the distributor".It could also be the coil or the ignition module.
On The Crankshaft It Has A Magnet & On The Timing Cover It Has A Pick Up Coil, This Sends The Control Box Under The Coils Information As When To Fire That Coil. The Timing Is Done By The Computer.
It would REALLY HELP to know the year. Could be these things. Ignition module in distributer, pick-up coil in distributer, Bad COIL wire, Rotor button. Depending on the year 1996 and up it could be a CAM sensor, CRANK sensor, Ignition coil, ignition module.
To replace the ignition coil on a 1994 GMC Sonoma pickup, first, disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Remove the ignition coil cover if applicable, then disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the mounting bolts securing the ignition coil. Carefully lift out the old coil and install the new one, securing it with the bolts and reconnecting the electrical connector. Finally, reconnect the battery cable and start the engine to test the new coil.
Check the ignition coil or the "pick up" located inside the distributor
