Best way to test is connect to car and see if it gives spark with engine turning, because it gets ground pulse from the distributer,if pulse id not coming to ignition coil, then you need to change distributor.

IGNITION COIL TESTING DODGE 2.7 INTREPID 2004

to check ignition coil, you need a digital volt meter put it on the ohms scale check primary resistance across primary coil positive terminal to secondary high voltage terminal. primary resistance should be 0.6 to 0.9 ohms and secondary resistance should be 6 to 9 kilo ohms. if you see zero ohms more likely ignition coil has open circuit.

Need diagram for ignition coils for 2001 Mazda Tribute. Tripping code: P0351 Ignition Coil Primary/Secondary Malfunction???? Thanks

Same as Ford Escape.
P0351 - Ignition Coil A - Primary/Secondary Circuit

Cylinder #1, Pin 26 at the PCM, computer.

I would replace the coil on the plug (COP) for that cylinder and see if its' ok. If not, then it is possible that the bad coil took out the driver in the PCM. The test at Pin 26 to see if the light blinks, must be done with the correct tester or it will damage the PCM.

Hope it's the coil.

report results.

P1370 and p1350 trouble codes

P1370 Ignition Control (IC) Module 4x Reference too many pulses

P1350 Ignition Control System

Ok, these codes are signaling a malfunction within the Ignition control module. it is sending way to many signals to the coil. i recommend testing the coil for damage and irregular resistance. i will explain how to do this below. i would replace the module as well. The control moduel is Located Under hood, center, rear engine area, above valve cover, mounted in base of ignition coil pack

Ignition Coil Test Procedures__

Ignition Coil Resistance

* with the key off and the battery lead to the ignition coil disconnected, use an Ohmmeter to measure the primary and secondary winding resistance of the ignition coil. when checking the resistance across the windings, pay particular attention to the meter reading. if the reading is out of specifications, even if it is only slightly out, the coil or coil assembly should be replaced.
* To check the primary windings, calibrate an ohmmeter on the X1 scale and connect the meter leads to the primary coil terminals to test the winding.

5d041b0.jpg

* An infinite ohmmeter reading indicates an open winding. The winding is shorted if the meter reading is below the specified resistance. Most primary windings have a resistance of 0.5 to 2 ohms, but the exact manufacturer's specifications must be compared to the meter readings.
* To check the secondary winding, calibrate the meter on the X1,000 scale and connect it from the coil's secondary terminal to one of the primary terminals.


813a25f.jpg
# A meter reading below the specified resistance indicates a shorted secondary winding. An infinite meter reading proves that the winding is open.
# In some coils, the secondary winding is connected from the secondary terminal to the coil frame. When the secondary winding is tested in these coils, the ohmmeter must be connected from the secondary coil terminal to the coil frame or to the ground wire terminal extending from the coil frame. Many secondary windings have 8,000 to 20,000 ohms resistance, but the meter readings must be compared to the manufacturer's specifications. The ohmmeter tests do not indicate such defects as defective insulation around the coil windings, which causes high-voltage leaks.
