    Default VS Commodore dead coil pack?

    Hi, i just learned that i could test my coil pack with a multi meter and came up with 5.7 between 6 and 3 5.71 between 5 and 2 but when i tested 4 and 1 i got no reading at all. Does this mean 4 and 1 is dead?

    hi mate just had same problem with my car... unplug 4 at the coil pack and start the car, a working coilpack should have a clean spark then try 1 and do same thing. if there is no spark there dead or a messy spark is not realy healthy to... you will b able to tell....
    if they r dead it should b missing when u drive aswell.

    If it was dead it should have shown a miss.
