Its that time of year, and I'm back to the same friggin problem. Packed it in over the winter, and now I'm at it again, trying to get a spark.
As posted before, this is a brand new Honda coil, not cheap. I figured I'd have less of a chance for a bad part.
This is what I have come up with as of today.
Given the fact that this coil did work flawlessly when I put in in around October, just running the engine for a few minutes, I decided to check all the wires. I ended up replacing the entire harness, front to back. Even got new switches. The result....no spark.
Now I attacked the coil with my meter. The manual says to check for continuity between the spark plug wire and the primary coil wire,, between the primary coil wire and ground, and between the plug wire and ground.
I only get continuity between the primary wire and ground. NOTHING when the plug wire is in the mix. Odd thing, I get no continuity ANYWHERE on the plug wire......from the cap to ground.....cap removed and from the end of the wire to ground.....even nothing through just the cap it self!
In short...every test the manual has to determine the coil is bad says it is...but its frigging brand new!....WTF am I missing!!!!
Is there a better aftermarket coil to try? Can a factory coil be so defective to have THAT many open circuits???
This has been going on since last August!
Help me someone....
