96 RAV4 Ignition Coil Testingshavros 07-16-2006, 02:18 AM I'm getting a 00.5 ohm reading on the primary coil. Ohmmeter is set on 200 ohm. The specs are Cold: 0.36 - 0.55 Ohm Hot: 0.45 - 0.65 Ohm. Do i need to replace coil?

That reading is within spec. shavros 07-16-2006, 09:01 AM Mike wrote: > "shavros" <marius_bingue@yahoo.com> wrote in message > news:1153034328.078189.276120@m79g2000cwm.googlegr oups.com... > > I'm getting a 00.5 ohm reading on the primary coil.

Thank You Jeff Strickland 07-17-2006, 04:26 PM Are you getting 0.05 or 00.5 (which is properly expressed as 0.5, by the way)? 0.05 is way below the spec you posted, 0.5 is right in there where you want it. If you have multiple coils, have you tried swapping them around to see if the dead cylinder follows the coil?

I think you made an error in the placement of the decimal point, the error affects whether or not the coil is within spec. shavros 07-20-2006, 12:14 PM My problem was the timming belt.
