No spark from coil
My engine issues persist, and this is the latest chapter. Upon turning the key this past weekend, the A4 would not get going. So I dutifully pulled up the unexpected shut down video on youtube and went through the list, again.
I have no spark from the central distributor wire to the block. None at all. I have done this in the past (not my first rodeo) and I had some spark, although not strong. At one point in time I actually bought a new coil from auto store and the spark was really strong! However I convinced myself the old coil was fine with a weak spark, so I did not replace it. Of note is the fact that I have not measured the resistance or amperage on the coil, yet. My questions: 1-Does a weak spark indicate a weak coil? 2-Does the absence of any spark indicate a dead coil? 3-Should I get a moyer marine coil, or a different brand from an auto store? As always, I look forward to the education. Thanks! ej 78 C30 |
