Hi all,
I have a AU3 XR6 which has developed a slight miss (I'm guessing ignition). It has new plugs but I was going to replace leads and coil pack. I tested the lead to lead resistance through the coil pack on the car and they were 29.3kOhm 29.6kOhm 29.8kOhm. They were reasonabley even so I thought they were possibley ok, however I reacently got the opportunity to salvage parts from an AU3 factory gas Forte. Tested the coilpack from the forte (both coil resistance and insulation resistance) results being 9.4k 9.6k 9.4k for the secondary and 1.5Ohms on all primary with excellent insulation (which is spot on I am led believe....?). So out of curiosity I tested lead to lead through this coil with the salvaged gas leads and 12.4kOhm on all roughly. Now it has me wondering with such a big difference if it is ok to swap over or there is a difference somewhere between the petrol and factory gas requirements..?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers |

Takes 15min with a set of car ramps so I'm not too fussed about swaping and changing
 . Just trying to eliminate the miss...  I can't understand the fact that it is over twice the resistance. If the packs are the same I guess it must be in the leads... Either they're special gas leads or something on mine is shot

I have experimented with leads over the last 5 years in My AU on gas and have found a huge difference. the best I have encountered are the genuine ford ones, best idle no miss or backfire.
You must have small hands if you can do them in 15 min  took me a lot longer with lots of swearing and lost skin

Haha must do. I thought to myself "Don't know what everyone complains about" when I did it first
Much better than the dizzy on the EL

From memory the XR6 coil pack looked different to the basic INTECH coil pack that i replaced on my AUII EGAS ages ago.
I had a miss at idle more than anything ... and after replacing all plugs and leads I went with a 2nd hand coil pack from a reputable wreckers. I had no issues after that.

It'd be great if anyone has a multimeter handy to do a lead to lead through coil resistance check so I could compare. Leads to test between are 1-4, 2-5, 3-6 if memory serves right
