    Default testing my coils, trouble

    Hi all,
    Having a little trouble testing Primary resistance..
    Using a multimeter. Ive tested my coils and all 3 are around 6ohms secondary resistance, that seems normal.

    But could someone please tell me how/where do i test Primary resistance? there are no terminals on the bottom of the coils.

    (Ive got the whole coil pack completely off the vehicle)

    stick something in them. I find the blades from a fuse fit perfectly if you cant find anything else.

    each coil has two terminals on the bottom. you have to remove them from the module underneath them with the plug in it, if you havent already

    good idea, worked perfectly thanks.
    they all measured 0.9 - 1, guess that's within range?

    oh okay just used some broken fuses instead, i thought about removing the plugs from the module, but they didn't look like they were mean to come off
