Another Coilpack Question

[teng]

I found out (searched) that a good way to check faulty coilpack is using multimeter and the reading should be around 0.6 and 0.9 but that's for a RB20DET. Is the reading the same for R33 with RB25DET either with or without ignitors.

Attached is a picture of a Series2 coilpack (hopefully). Three terminals. Which terminals should i use to test?

I used 1&2 and got 1.0 and sometimes a 1.1 on the same coilpack. Is that good or bad?

It seems my coilpack harness isn't spared as well. It's in horrible condition. As soon as i remove the connectors, bits of plastics falls off from inside the connectors. Time to get a new one i guess.

Pretty sure standard should read 1.1-1.3 Andrew

What exactly is the problem your having and have to diagnosed it back to the ignition system???

Looking at that plug you wouldn't be getting a great connection which will/can cause problems so i would change that ASAP and check all your others

Problem now is misfiring on idle. According to the workshop, it's connected to my coilpack as it hasn't been changed since 1996. I'm the 2nd owner so the first owner didn't bother to change anything i guess. lol Mileage is over 250k atm.

To test the coil pack, looking at the pins (connectors) test the resistance between the left 1 and the middle 1, it should be good between 0.6-0.9 ohms.

hi there im new here and this is a bit off topic im sorry. I have an a31 cefiro, has anyone of does anyone know if you can wire in the r32 ignitor into the cefiro harness to be used in wasted spark set up? i cant seem to find any diagrams for the ecu side of both ignitors as the cefiro one is ruined and corroded.. any help would be great thanks.

i had horrible misfiring from my coils and the loom was in really bad shape, my solution was to make up a completely new loom from the ignitor and solder the wire straight to the plugs pins then i cleaned the coil contacts and taped them up.

the tape only lasts 5000-10000ks so next time i plan to use some good quality heat shrink or i might try silicone.

it works well, i don't see the point in wasting 500-600 for spitfires sure i agree that it will give you a better spark but meh its a 20 year old $8k r32 why bother.
