Notes:  
     
Ignition coils and power output stage are a 
common part. 
     Primary resistance of ignition coils cannot be 
measured. 
     Secondary resistance must first be measured 
with the ignition wires connected to the ignition 
coils via the spark plug connectors of the 
corresponding cylinder (This measurement will 
include measurement of the shielded 
resistances of the ignition wires). 
     
-  Disconnect 5-pin connector from ignition coils.
     
Check ignition coils (-N-, -N128- and -N158-)  
     
-  Pull the ignition wires from the spark plugs.
    
-  In order to perform a resistance measurement, connect multimeter 
between both spark plug connectors of the respective ignition circuit to 
be checked.
