The ignition coil is responsible for creating the spark that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the engine. If the ignition coil is faulty, it will not be able to create a spark, and the engine will not start. To test the ignition coil, you can use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the primary and secondary terminals. The resistance should be between 0.5 and 1.0 ohms on the primary side, and between 8,000 and 12,000 ohms on the secondary side. If the resistance is not within these ranges, the ignition coil is faulty and should be replaced.
Check the distributor cap and rotor.
The distributor cap and rotor distribute the spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. If the distributor cap or rotor is cracked or damaged, it can prevent the spark from reaching the spark plugs, and the engine will not start. To check the distributor cap and rotor, remove them from the distributor and inspect them for cracks or damage. If either part is damaged, it should be replaced.
Check the spark plugs.
The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture in the engine. If the spark plugs are worn out or damaged, they will not be able to create a spark, and the engine will not start. To check the spark plugs, remove them from the engine and inspect them for wear or damage. If the spark plugs are worn out, they should be replaced.
Check the ignition wires.
The ignition wires carry the spark from the distributor cap to the spark plugs. If the ignition wires are damaged or corroded, they can prevent the spark from reaching the spark plugs, and the engine will not start. To check the ignition wires, inspect them for damage or corrosion. If any of the wires are damaged, they should be replaced.
