How to check Ignition Coil on Pontiac Firebird?

To check coil-in-cap models, start by removing the distributor cap and using an ohmmeter to measure the resistance across the TACH and BAT terminals at the distributor cap. The resistance should be very low. Then, switch the meter to the high scale and measure the resistance between the TACH terminal and the SECONDARY terminal, as well as the GROUND terminal and the SECONDARY terminal. If both readings are infinite, replace the coil. Next, disconnect the wiring connectors from the distributor cap and remove the spark plug wiring harness retainer clips. Rotate the distributor cap locking latches counterclockwise to remove the cap. Remove the coil cover and separate the coil and leads from the cap. Replace the carbon button and arc seal. For models with separately mounted coils, disconnect the wiring connectors and secondary ignition wire from the coil. Use an ohmmeter to measure the primary and secondary coil resistance, checking for an open circuit or short to ground. Replace the coil if it fails any of the tests. To replace the coil, disconnect the wiring connectors and secondary ignition wire, loosen the coil bracket mounting nuts, and remove the coil. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.

How to replace the ignition coil on Pontiac Fiero?

Start by removing the cap and rotor of the distributor, then remove the distributor itself. Disconnect the pick-up coil leads from the module and use an ohmmeter to test for any faults. There is a need for flexing by hand to identify intermittent opens on the leads with infinity reading at all times on the ohmmeter. Then, connect one end of an ohmmeter to the pick-up coil lead terminal and flex it again checking for intermittent opens as it flexes, with a constant meter reading of 500-1500 ohms. If any of these tests fail, it means that there is a bad pick-up coil. To replace it, mark the distributor gear and shaft for reassembly in the same position, take out roll pin from distributor shaft and gear, and pry off retaining ring. Pull straight up on pick-up assembly and wipe distributor base and module clean before applying silicone lubricant between module base for heat dissipation. Drop in module attaching module base then connect pick-up pole piece assy., retainer assy., install shaft gear parts, roll pin. Ensure that teeth do not touch; after this install rotor/cap then final re-installation of distributor into engine must be made. For V6 remove distibutor from engine; disconnect wiring connector at cap; turn four latches to remove cap/coil assembly from lower housing. Take out rotor and pickup coil lead wires from ignition module. When testing an ohmmeter should be connected between pickup coil lead connector & distributor housing reading infinite resistance. Connect an ohmeter between both terminals of pickup coil lead connector and note steady values between 600-1600 ohms will indicate that you have good ones. If any of these tests fail, it indicates that there is something wrong with its pick-up coil. To replace it: mark distibutor shaft/gear for reassembly; drive out roll pin; remove gear then draw shaft out of distributor. Next, remove the magnetic shield by removing three attaching screws, followed by detaching pick-up coil, magnet and pole piece by taking off C-clip. Put back a new pick-up coil, magnet and pole piece with a thin washer, then reassemble the shaft/gear parts/roll pin making sure teeth do not touch. Inserting rotor/cap then finally reinstalling distributor into engine that is all.

Pontiac Ignition Coil shoots battery voltage into the heavens which makes all engines jumpy. Pontiac left an aggressive, flat-cornered, throttle-begging mark on the highways by constructing cars that appeared to be vicious, with flat angles, and pleaded to be poked in the throttle. The wide stance, the face-you cockpit and the sheer notion that power should be engaging were all liked by drivers. The company went as far as style without going into fluff thereby ensuring that steel remained functional whereas interiors remained playful. Muscle cars such as the Firebird made the case but even sedans received attitude and road feel. Each model was targeting grins per mile rather than sterile efficiency, which provided the owner with incentive to drive rather than park. The use of turbo badges, hood-scoops and loud graphics was not a show, but an indication that the brand wanted you involved. Electronic tweaks came through the decades, but the mission remained the same, vibrant response followed by spec sheets. Pontiac continued this in the spirit by pairing gutsy drives with the chassis that felt unfiltered and truthful. The Ignition Coil of that series transforms 12-volt feed to an explosion of up to 40,000 volts by coiling primary and secondary copper windings around an iron core, then closing its magnetic field to provide the plug with the moment the piston desires flame. Every modern Ignition Coil is brought nearer to the spark plug, in packs or coil-on-plug, reducing losses to energy and maximizing combustion. The symptom of a faulty Ignition Coil presents itself as sputters, poor mileage and fear misfires, hence drivers pay attention to an abnormal idle or flickering warning light. Pontiac energies compensate well with clean thrust and stable economy in the entire model range.
