Ignition coils, checking


Notes:

Measuring the primary resistance of the ignition
coils is normally not necessary for this test
(primary resistance approx. 0.4 to 0.6 ,
measured between coil terminals 1 and 15).

A high tension isolation diode is installed in the
secondary circuit of the ignition coil. Measuring
the resistance of the secondary coil is therefore
not possible with conventional measuring
instruments.

Required special tools and test equipment
Multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent)
VW 1594 connector test kit

Test conditions
No fuel injector malfunction stored in DTC
memory

- By briefly disconnecting fuel injector connectors
with engine running, check which cylinder is
misfiring, or not firing at all.

Note:
A misfiring cylinder can also be isolated by
pulling the spark plug connectors (carbon-fouled
plug).

- Check spark plug connector resistance.


Specified value: approx. 2 k If resistance is NOT OK:

- Reconnect spark plug connector.

- Interchange spark plug with one from cylinder
that is OK.

- If other cylinder now misfires, replace faulty
spark plug.

- If same cylinder misfires, interchange ignition
coil with one from cylinder that is OK.

-
If other cylinder now misfires, replace faulty
