Got home from vacation and the Miata won't start. I get spark on the head from one pack (weakly) and none from the other. I've been feeling some hesitation at partial throttle and I think it ruined my replacement cat.
So anyone got one? Know where to get one around here?
I should have one out in the garage somewhere. I'll look around and see if I can find it.
So ... is there is way to check how healthy the coil pack is? My 99 does has some hesitation at partial throttle especially from a cold start in the morning.
Found it. PM sent.
There's an impedance test: http://www.miata.net/garage/coilpack_test.jpgQuote:

Mine tested out OK (the A-C, B-C were 1.0Mohm) so I kept looking and it turned out that my fuel pump was done. It would start after I banged it, but then it would grind funny.
ETA: Lock this up as my car's running again :D
