To check the ignition coil, first, ensure the engine is off and the key is removed. Disconnect the ignition coil from the spark plug wire and the electrical connector. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the primary and secondary windings according to the specifications in your vehicle's service manual; typically, a healthy coil will show low resistance on the primary side and higher resistance on the secondary side. If the readings are outside the recommended range or if there are signs of physical damage, the coil may need to be replaced.

I have replaced everything involved in my ignition system but still lose spark after driving for a short period of time if you le tit sit for an hour it will restart again any suggestions?

did you have your ignition coil replaced? the signs are that the ignition coil is overheating thus you are able to restart after an hour, when the coil cools. also check if your ignition coil has a resistor. if it has, have it checked for continuity. did you have your ignition coil replaced? the signs are that the ignition coil is overheating thus you are able to restart after an hour, when the coil cools. also check if your ignition coil has a resistor. if it has, have it checked for continuity.

How check the ignition coil on 97 Nissan Quest?

To check the ignition coil on a 1997 Nissan Quest, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the ignition coil connector and remove the coil from the spark plug. Use a multimeter to test the primary and secondary resistance; the primary should be between 0.4 to 2 ohms, and the secondary should be between 6,000 to 15,000 ohms. If the readings are outside these ranges, the ignition coil may need to be replaced.


How can you check if ignition coil is firing?

To check if an ignition coil is firing, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the ignition coil's output terminal while the engine is cranking. Alternatively, you can remove the spark plug, reconnect it to the ignition coil, and ground it to the engine block; then crank the engine and look for a spark between the plug electrodes. If there’s no spark or voltage, the coil may be faulty and needs further inspection or replacement. Always take safety precautions when performing these checks.
