EnDuraSpark Electronic Ignition
Installation & Troubleshooting v5.1
Troubleshooting - No Spark (continued)
Check Secondary Coil Circuit
Remove a spark plug and
securely ground the plug
threads to a cylinder fin.
Position the plug so that it can
be seen firing.
Disconnect the black trigger
wire on the right coil which
goes to the EnDuraSpark black
box. Using a 2’ wire with clip
leads, clip one end to this
terminal. Turn on the ignition
and touch the other end of the
wire to a cylinder head fin.
Every time you make/break this connection, you should see the spark plug fire. This is
what the points used to do: make and break a connection to ground. Repeat for the other
spark plug (or other three spark plugs for dual-plugged engines) and verify that each
spark plug “sparks”. If they do, the coils, plugs, wires, and spark plug caps are okay. Skip
to the “Check Timing Wheel” procedure.
Check Primary Coil Circuit
If there is no visible spark at the spark plugs, investigate the coils further. Leave the 2’
wire in place (connecting the outer male terminal on the right ignition coil to ground) and
connect a voltmeter positive probe to an inside spade terminal of either coil. The voltage
should read about 6.5V, half the voltage of the green/blue wire. (After this test remove
the wire with clip leads so we don’t burn up the coils). If not, the coil is bad (bad primary
circuit) or the crimp connections on the jumper wire between coils are loose.
Check the Coils
Disconnect all the wires connected to the coils, including the high tension lead. With a
multimeter on the ohms scale, measure the resistance between the two spade terminals
on each coil. They should measure 2.0 - 3.5 ohms, the primary resistance of the coil. If
outside this range, the coil is bad or you are using the wrong coils.
Measure the resistance from each high tension coil tower to either of the male spade
connectors. This secondary resistance will be 12-17K ohms for stock Bosch coils, 11.5K
ohms for Accel 140403S coils, and 14K ohms for Dyna DC2-1 coils. If any of these
measurements are open circuit, short circuit, or too high resistance the coil is bad.
