Put an ohm meter across the coil and read the resistance. Usually they are quite high depending on the voltage and the size. If you can compare with an known good one then you can know what to expect give or take say 15%. If there is no reading it is open circuited and if it is very low then it has a short within it. Some times the smell will show a short.

How do you know if your coil is no good?

I assume you are talking about the starter relay or solenoid coil. If the engine is cranking but not starting, the coil is most likely good. If Nothing happens, check battery voltage at the coil. If voltage is present, coil (winding inside the solenoid or relay) is most likely bad. If no voltage present, then check for corrosion, loose terminal fittings, or any wire or cables that go from the battery to the starter.

What would cause a 1994 to start and run fine and then not start I have replaced the coil with no success.?

Did you check to see if theres any spark from the plugs after it wont start... if no spark check to see if the coil is getting power, if not then check the ASD Relay on the fender near the battery. Theres like 5 relays there... The ASD relay cuts power to both the Coil and Fuel Pump.

How can you test relay if good or bad?

To test a relay, first disconnect it from the circuit and use a multimeter to check for continuity across the relay's contacts when the coil is energized. If the multimeter shows continuity when power is applied to the coil, the relay is functioning properly. You can also listen for a clicking sound when the relay is energized, indicating that the contacts are closing. If there's no continuity or the clicking sound is absent, the relay is likely defective.
