WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Mercury Villager and 1995 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect ignition coil wiring harness connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between connector Blue/Yellow wire terminal and ground. If voltage is 10 volts or more, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair Blue/Yellow wire circuit.
- Turn ignition off. Measure resistance between ignition coil primary terminals. Resistance should be 1.4-1.6 ohms. Measure resistance between ignition coil positive primary terminal and secondary terminal. See Fig 1 . Resistance should be 9800-10,000 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace ignition coil. If resistance is as specified, go to CIRCUIT TEST IGNS in the TESTS W/CODES article.
