my checklist which is:
coil
ignition module
hall effect sensor in the dizzy
fuel pressure regulator
fuel pump
OK so I finally got some spare time to start checking things out. First I manually tested the fault codes (used the paperclip trick) and got code 12, so nothing wrong there.
Then I tested fuel pressure with the car idleing in Park was sitting at 270 kPa...was told that was satisfactory so fuel pump and regulator should be working ok too.
That's all I've done so far, and next I'll pull out the dizzy cap and check out the hall sensor, and while I'm there will pull out the coil and test it with a multimeter.
Just gotta find the resistance specs for the coil... Is the stock coil in a VN V8 is a Bosch MEC 718? If so I found the resistance specs here. Can anyone confirm?
