OFF car wasnt showing up

Wasted Spark.

Coil primary
1= 0.7 Ohm
2=0.8 Ohms
3=0.6 Ohms

Coil secondary
1=12.2K ohms
2=12.3K ohms
3=12.3K ohms

Testing Ballast resistors
Part no: BR1
Resistance= 1.2 Ohms.


Standard Single tower coil




1. Wire up a ballast resistor in series with your coil primary winding values as shown in
the following diagram.
2. Connect an ammeter in series and note the current draw.
3. Measure and note the voltage drop across the ballast resistor.
4. Measure and note the voltage drop across the coil primary.

Current draw was 3.1A
Coil calculated voltage drop=6.51V
Coil measured voltage drop=10.6V
Ballast resistor calculated voltage drop=3.72
Ballast resistor measured voltage drop=1.3V
