Default Re: Coil or condenser over heat

Testing a capacitor or an ignition coil without the proper equipment is not going to tell a person the whole story. Coils have to go through a warm up before a test is conducted. All it takes is a broken strand in the primary coil that will function when cool but then malfunctions after it expands with heat and opens the crack further.

Changing the condenser with a part known to be functional is the best first test. If the condition persists, replace the coil with a known functional unit.
