Multimeter Testing VZ Ignition Coils?

[the_great_white_2000]

Hey guys, anybody know how to test the coils in a VZ. I see the 4 pins but have no idea where to put the multimeter. Also what Ohm range am I looking for?

i know this is an old thread but would like to know this also?

Still have not found anything “official”, but what I did was test the level of resistance on 200 Ohms. Red probe on first pin from the left and the black probe on the outer metallic skin of the coils shaft. If you get any reading, I think it’s safe to say it’s on its way out. Anything over 1.0 on 200 Ohms, its f**ked.

Hey guys,
Anyone with a repair manual that can have the look on the values (in Ohms) for the VZ coils.??

Here is how i tested, however all of them are giving me different readings.
I just replaced all 6 of them. It has 4 metal pins I tested the 2 middle ones first and then the left (1st) and 3rd one. (The other combinations gave me no reading).

OLD COILS - in MEGA ohms
pin tested XxXx (1st and 3rd) ---- Two middle pins xXXx

1 - 5.22 -------------------------- 11.94
2 - 5.00 -------------------------- 11.78
3 - 0.46 ---------------------------No reading (This one is finished)
4 - 5.02 ---------------------------11.87
5 - 5.05 ---------------------------11.92

BRAND NEW COILS
pin tested XxXx (1st and 3rd) ---- Two middle pins xXXx

1 - 10.00------------------------- 16.05
2 - 08.57 ------------------------17.33
3 - 11.96 ------------------------13.05
4 - 08.71 ------------------------16.55
5 - 08.00 ------------------------15.37
6 - 08.21 ------------------------16.14


As you can see the values are ALL over the place, however I deducted that the two middle pins need to be 13+
and the 1st-3rd pin more than 10+

Anyone that can give me some values to work with??
