hi all
i was scanning through the forums reading about testing coil packs as mine is suspicious and i dont own a multi meter.
came across one that explained how to do it with out one.
turn car off take leads off coil packs ( working one at coil pack at a time), start car up and check spark is jumping between posts, if it jumps anywhere else the coil is stuffed it read.
tried this on mine and the spark on the middle coil pack was jumping to the pack and not between the posts.
going to get coil pack from wreckers to swap it over tomorrow. if this works it is a simple way to test them without the right tools. hope this helps a few out there
