How do I test an ignition coil without a multimeter? CarThrottle Forums Updated: 09 Dec 2024 Sponsored PostsComments Take the plugs and crank the engine with the plugs against ground metal. If they all spark, all your ignition system is ok There is no spark at the plugs, I was thinking the coils the problem but I’d like to check first Is it a coil on plug? Or just 1 coil 1 coil Just get a multimeter. They’re not expensive. Or borrow one from a friend You could always try to lick it and see if it shocks you!! I’ve actually given that serious thought Try changing the spark plug. If sparks everything’s ok and if not gotta replace the coil If you see no spark when you havr the wire off going to a ground chances are the coil is bad.
