How do you know if ignition coil is bad from looking at it?

well depending on the car if you look at the cylinder of the coil you suspect is bad you might see Browning almost like the cylinders overheating... Or pull the coil out and check for what looks like melting on the coil itself. also try pulling coil partway out of the cylinder and have someone turn car to accessory but not on! if you see a spark then the coil is working fine. hope this helps :)

What can I check if my 1988 Mazda 323 has no spark commimg from the coil?

There are a few steps: The easiest will be to try using the coil from another vehicle preferably one from a car with te same engine size ( DONT WORRY THE BORROWED COIL WONT DAMAGE). Also try changing out the wires between the coil & distributor. Lastly check the wires that should deliver power to the coil. Hope this helps ;-)

How do you check the coil on a 2001 town car?

Hi, I am no expert, but I have had to change several coil's in a 4.6 Ford. Get a code reader that plugs in under your dash, about $15.00 or so, or you can go to Auto Zone, they will read your code for free. This will tell you which coil is bad.
