i have a 90 mini cab left hand drive 4x4 it has electronic electronic ignition,was having carb problems now got different issues.i have no spark now. At the coil with the key on not cranking,i have power to both sides of the coil .Is this normal? .im trying to narrow the problem. Not sure whats going on? .thanks
I think its normal. coil is hot all the time and ignition shorts to ground one side when it need to fire.
that is completely normal..the windings could still be bad though..or getting bad...my bet is the igniter module inside the distributor ..it has a common Mitsubishi part # and can be sourced locally
ok thanks guys i really appreciate the help. I'll look into testing it and finding a part number for it.
Did you ever solve this? I'm having issues and beginning to wonder if it's the coil or ignition module. On my 92 mits that won't start now. Changed fuel filter, checked plug wires were on right, replaced cap n rotor, all checked fuses, fuel pump works. Have weak spark coming out of coil. My module is mounted on a plate that the coil is mounted to. With number J121 on it. Anyone.......anyone
