Learn how I Bench Test the Coil on Plug (CoP) Coil Motorcraft DG511 {#3L3Z12029BA} or Motorcraft DG508 {#3W7Z12029AA, DG540}. This coil is used on a number of 4.6L & 5.4L Ford V8 Engines. If you are getting a Cylinder #X Misfire Detected Fault Code P0301, thru P0308. You may have a bad Coil. Other common causes for this code include defective spark plug, bad coil, bad or cracked coil boot, bad fuel injector, low fuel pressure, bad fuel, vacuum leak, bad camshaft or crankshaft sensor, camshaft timing off. For OEM Coil resistance for the Primary Circuit should be 0.55 ohms and the secondary circuit resistance should be 5,500 ohms. For MSD Coil the Primary Circuit should be 0.73 ohms and the secondary circuit resistance should be 5,370 ohms.

Good video mate, very helpful thank you I’ve always wondered about benchtests in general because it’s always at room temperature, and when the thing is under the Bonnet, it’s smoking, hot and materials expand makes me wonder if you don’t always see the fault but it’s a pretty good start ……. Also, if you pull the boot off and the spring off, you can clean up the terminal at the spark plug side, and you can also clean the terminal at the computer side and that can often fix the issue as well

given that heat generally increases internal resistance in components that are heat-range sensitive (such as resistors and filter caps). If measured resistance is higher than OE spec when cool, it may increase linearly or randomly with temperature rise. There are a few components - thermistors and germanium diodes/transistors for example that have a negative coefficient of temperature; as temperature rises, resistance to flow decreases making the circuit more efficient and more easily controlled. But when they go bad, they generally quit altogether.... If I was not familiar with the internal circuitry, but knew the pri and sec coil resistances at standard temp, I would put the suspect coil in a metal box and heat it to around 225F (about 25* above average underhood air temp as measured right at the coil packs in my 5.4 F250 at optemp) and measure resistance, If it was marginal, I would swap it with a known 0 miss coil. and run for a few minutes to determine if the misfire migrates.... But for less than $20, if I suspect a marginal-ohms coil is the problem, it's going in the trash and getting a new one... ( and if the vehicle has 100,000 or so miles on it, they are all getting replaced along with the plugs - "good report cards" or not... )

Those readings look good to me, you’re going to have a variance on each coil. Also, if you use the Rel (relative) feature of the meter, you can eliminate the ohms reading of the leads and that will give you a true zero to start from.

Eliminator, Yep, you are right, I should have zero'd the Meter for the Lead resistance. I realized this a month or sure after the video published when answering a question.

As i understand it the tolerance spec is +/-10%. So if the coils are supposed to be 55 mega ohms then being out by 5.5 is acceptable. Obviously cleaning up the contacts is recommended and should improve the resistance, but if its still close or out of spec even after that then you have a bad coil. I'm curious, that MSD one you have, did you attempt a warranty swap? I've read on forums about people contacting MSD about a bad coil and MSD sending them a replacement after receiving the bad one. One of mine is 8% out of spec even after cleaning it up.

@StilesAutomotive
@StilesAutomotive 3 ай бұрын
What1See, Nope, the Coils are not likely the problem. The OBDII Code P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit (Bank 2) likely causes are: a bad Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP), problems with the sensor wiring (more likely than you would think due to the Connectors), a failed Crankshaft Position Sensor, damaged or misaligned timing components, and a faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM sets the P0345 code if the Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) either sends inconsistent signals or stops transmitting any signal. I have found it hard to get reliable off-brand Electrical Sensors and Electronic Components. I like to use Motorcraft Components. You said you replaced the Cam Position Sensors, I'd take a look at the Wiring and the Electrical Connectors. - Stiles

I plan to use this technique tomorrow. However, if the ignition coil fares well, I wonder if bad rollers, (notorious with the 5.4) could cause a misfire and therefore the 0303 code. The roller ticking noise is coming from the same side as my misfire, cylinder 3.

George, Are you sure you have a ticking sound or is it an exhaust leak, the 2 sounds are very different. If you do have a ticking in the Valve Train, don't let it go very long.

Remove and install the Number 1 Coil into the Number 3 and the Number 3 into the Number 1 positions. If it is bad, your OBDII Fault Code should change to P0301. Let me know how it goes! - Stiles

I would like to point out something. My mechanic, who is a truly phenomenal told me ohming out a coilpack is not a 100% way to determine if a coilpack is good as he has had many coilpacks ohm out perfect but still fail under a load. So this test is just for a chance at showing a defective coilpack but not to know for 100%. Also you could try pulling off the boot and cleaning the contact spade where the spring makes contact with it, clean all corrosion with a stiff metal brush, little screw driver etc, clean out with electrical cleaner spray, put a dab of dielectric grease on the spade, install spring and boot and retest..you may find you simply had bad contact from corrosion.

Fordman, That is a MOTORCRAFT DG513 Ignition Coil, used in a number of Ford Cars, 2001-2008 ESCAPE, 2005-2007 FIVE HUNDRED, 2005-2007 FREESTYLE, 2000-2005 TAURUS and the Mercury equivalent. The resistance for the Primary Circuit should be 0.55 ohms and the secondary circuit resistance should be 5,500 ohms. You didn't ask, but here is the deal: If you have an open circuit, of course the coil is bad, but you can measure the correct resistance and the insulation/windings can still be bad. If you have a cylinder misfire identified by the OBDII code, switch the bad (fault) cylinder coil with a known (non-faulting) cylinder and see if the mis-fire condition moves to that cylinder. If it moves you know that coil is an fault and replace it. - Stiles

I have a question. I jusr bought my son a 06 F150 5.4L and found the engine is misfiring. I found which cyl #/coil it was with my scan tool and replaced both the spark plug (OEM) and coil (MAS brand from Amazon with good reviews) and it fixed the problem for one day then I started getting intermittent misfires the next day when I floored it off to give it a good test run. I heard the pop/misfire happen and been on and off for 3 days now. I checked new coil multimeter and primary was good but I’m not getting anything on secondary. So I checked ohms on the old coil and the primary was only 1 and secondary 0. I bought enough plugs and coils to change them all out but just haven’t had the time, so I decided to check all the other new coils and they all the same as the first one. Primary I’m getting .7 but 0 on secondary. Does this mean all the coils are faulty? Once the weather clears up over here I will try pulling some of the other old coils on truck now to check them as well to compare, but I just don’t understand why I’m not getting anything on the secondary when all the vids I’ve watched is saying the same as you. Thanks in advance for any help!

My 900wheel Supercharged Boss Roadrunner engine misfired and it caused catastrophic failure to my engine. Engine lost all power and eventually Hydrolocked cause injectors kept squirting fuel in cylinder but no spark. So if your motor misfires even once it can be deadly. My engine only had 18k miles on it and it was fully built forged motor too..Checked coil and it seems fine plus one coil failing will not cause catastrophic engine failure. Something else caused multiple misfires and caused engine to fail.

The easy way to make sure it is the Coil is to swap the suspected bad Coil for a good one, the problem should move to the other Cylinder.

I did not find this helpful. You spend half the video detailing how many billions of cars this could pertain to. And then when you do the actual testing you do not state what to set the multimeter to nor specify which pin should be the negative. Nor did you express that if the resistance is not exact if the cop would then be usable or not. So if it should be .573 ohm but registers at .6 is it bad? Or is it good still because you didn't have your multimeter set to tens-of-thousanths.

Billy, Sorry to hear that you didn’t get what you need from the video. I attempt to make my videos as detail as possible and give the viewer all of the information they need for the task. When testing your Coil, I believe it is important to know if the video covers your coil and if it doesn’t you understand your results may be different. I will attempt to address your issues: 1) “you do not state what to set the multimeter to” My Fluke multimeter is auto ranging and does not require a range setting unless the user desires it, the first resistance measurement is the Primary resistance which should be 0.55 ohms, you must set your meter to read in the proper range (I don’t know the meter you are using) and the secondary resistance should be 5,500 ohms. 2) “nor specify which pin should be the negative” I Show the positive (red) and the negative (black) leads touching the pins in the video at 3:42 where I have the red touching the negative pin and black touch the positive pin, however, with a 2-pin connector and when measuring resistance polarity does not matter. The location of the negative pin does matter when measuring the secondary resistance which I show as the leftside pin (As I hold the Coil) in the video at 3:56. 3) “Nor did you express that if the resistance is not exact if the cop would then be usable or not” The Ford Service Manual does the same, it simply states the 2 values 0.55 ohms and 5,500 ohms. If the measured value is “0” or open circuit, that’s easy, bad Coil. You are asking for a “good” range and “bad” range, I have not seen anyone publish a table like this. - Stiles

Doesn't matter which is neg. Put your leads together, note reading. Now touch leads on both pins and note reading, now deduct first reading which is resistance in the meter leads and that is your true ohms of coil

This testing seems a bit above my level of understanding. My fault. Not yours.

Teddy, Often, simple is better. An easy way to test these CoP Coils, is to switch a suspected bad Coil with a known good one, if the OBDII Fault Code move to the new location, you know that Coil is bad. I attempt to explain everything in detail. - Stiles
