coils on cars with electronic ignition have to create a bright blue spark almost an inch long...

you can do this test with a screw driver in the cap end of the coil wire  and position it 3/4 of an inch away from a ground...

i have had to change piles of coils lately.. they just are not lasting like they used to...  

how did you repair the wires??????     properly install shrink tubing .. then install a crimp and shrink the tubing over it so its water tight???

did you need a wiring diagram for the engine????/  so you can ohm each and every wire from the ECM connector..

you have to check the powers and grounds to every circuit..



i have had to repair a lot of damaged wires..  from somebody with the munchies...
