To get the actual figures for a specific coil, check the manufacturer's specifications.
NOTE: Test the ignition coil both when it is hot and when it is cold.
Condensers/Capacitors Leakage Test
This meter can be used to check automotive condensers (capacitors) using the Resistance function. Since
the Resistance function applies a voltage across the test leads, the condenser charges up and the displayed
resistance increases to infinity. Any other reading indicates that you should replace the condenser.
BEFORE PERFORMING THIS TEST, MAKE SURE THAT IGNITION SYSTEM IS OFF AND ALL WIRES
