Z31 Ignition Coil

The Z31 Ignition Coil is a high output ignition coil comparable to many performance coils. Replacing your Coil with an aftermarket coil will not increase any performance in your Z.

Testing the Ignition Coil

You can test your ignition coil by checking the resistance between the primary and secondary windings. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the terminals as shown below.
