how do i check if my coil packs are working properly?

 

[AndyP]

Best way I found would be to change them for some that you KNOW are working.....anyone near you that would let you test them.

 

[jack09]

ok mate ill see if i can hijack someone

you can do a resistance test on spec 2 coils,not 100% on spec 1 coils,if you have a misfire at 5.5 k revs its 99% of the time coilpacks though

 

[jack09]

it is misfiring at high revs but my turbo aint boosting at all

 

[marknjayne]

no boost? are you using an aftermarket gauge,if not have you checked the small pipe that goes to the small black box on the nearside rear of the engine

 

[jack09]

yeah its got a hks gauge. would the little pipe stop the turbo boosting then?

 

[marknjayne]

no but it would give a false reading to the gauge but as you have aftermarket gauge then it cant be that,just out of curiosity whats the stock gauge on the dash showing when you plant your foot?

 

[jack09]

havnt took any notice of stock gauge but ill check it
