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.
Check the fuses
No spark.
Bad coil? Bad Pick-up?
Coil pick-up supplies the spark needed to fire spark plugs if going bad might exhibit the symptoms you are having

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......
It can be the ciner on bellhousin or bad coil
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.
how to changr pick up coil 88 vandura
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.
Perhaps a bad coil? I have a 1986 ford club wagon 150-302 with fuel injection. It turned out that the pick up coil in the distributor was bad and I had to replace the distributor. Not an easy job.
Ignition coils are generally external while pick up coils are generally internal to distributor
