Hi all,

 

Does anyone know what the resistance values would be for my coil? I wanna bench test it to make sure it's good and I can't find anything here. EA82 /3AT and I assume that it is the original coil.

Oh yeah...88, non turbo - SPFI.

Off the top of my head....... the primary winding should be around 0.75 to 1.25 Ohms or so and the secondary should probably be about 10,000 to 12,000 Ohms (somtimes more on certain engines).

 

Those are generic numbers for most automotive coils. Usually in a bad coil you will see the secondary side partially shorted and it will read low.

 

The correct numbers are in the partial '89 FSM sections linked at the bottom of my EA81 SPFI conversion page:
