I've got a no-start on my GF's 92 teg. I spent about 10 minutes diagnosing it and I think the problem is in the coil. I always thought these cars had OBD0 but this one is OBD1. Just wondering if someone can point me to the correct procedure for testing the coil as there isn't really a spark.

take that mug to autozone

 

If youve got a DMM/DVOM handy you can check the resistance w/in the coil.

Check resistance b/w the terminals where the 2 wires screw into the coil (think blk/yel and wht/blu). This is checking the primary winding resistance. If memory serves the resistance should be 0.63-0.77 Ohm

Check resistance b/w Positive term and secondary winding (coil wire coming out). Resistance should be 12.8-19.2 kohm.

 

Beware, though, as I have tested coils on cars that won't start, and they ohm fine. Replace the coil, and vroom, it cranks right up. Swapping for a known good part is really the best way.

 

dude do the old skool screwdriver test on the plugs. test for spark and fuel. turn it to the on position listen to see if the fuel runs into the rail
