  Q: What checks should be made with the engine cold regarding the ignition coil on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A:

  The following checks should be made with the engine cold, as resistance will be greater when hot. First, remove the ignition coil pack. Check the primary resistance of the ignition coil by turning the ignition key to OFF, disconnecting the electrical connector from each coil, and connecting an ohmmeter across the coil primary terminals, comparing the measurement to the specified resistance; if incorrect, replace the coil. Next, check the secondary resistance of each ignition coil by turning the ignition key to OFF, labeling and detaching the spark plug wires from each coil, connecting an ohmmeter across the two secondary terminals of each coil, and comparing the measurement to the specified resistance; if incorrect, replace the coil. For non-turbo models, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, remove the upper intake manifold, label and disconnect the spark plug wires from the ignition coil while paying attention to their routing for reinstallation, disconnect the ignition coil electrical connector, remove the ignition coil mounting bolts, and take out the coil pack from the valve cover, with installation being the reverse of removal. For turbo models, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, remove the throttle control shield, disconnect the accelerator cable and, if equipped, the cruise control cable from the throttle lever, remove the accelerator cable bracket, disconnect the spark plug wires from the ignition coil pack, disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil pack, remove the ignition coil mounting bolts (twisting the coil to access two of the bolts), and pull the coil pack up and out on the throttle body side of the air intake plenum, with installation being the reverse of removal.
