I need information on testing the coil packs on a 1992 Corsica 3.1. The packs are off the vehicle. I have tested coils in the past but need information on what the specs should be testing with a multimeter. Thanks

Well I tested the coils and this is the information

primary 0.6 secondary 5.5
primary 0.6 secondary 5.2
primary 0.6 secondary 5.4

any information that would tell me if these are bad or not would be greatly appreciated...

Not sure without the unit. The resistance should be 0.5-0.9 Ω across primary terminals and 5-10 kΩ (that's 5,000-10,000) across secondary.

 

Thanks for the help...got everything running good...My son sold it for $700 and bought a 1995 Cavalier for $250 everything is great on it except it might need a motor..it has less miles and the body is in alot better condition than the Corsica..not to mention a smaller motor.
