85 380SE coil test
I've had an ongoing 'damp' ignition problem with my car. It doesn't get much use these days and sits for a week or two between drives. I tested the ignition as per the manual 15-562 Testing transistorized ignition system w/o series resistors TSZ 8 z and it's all within spec, but I have no spark. This test only checks the primary side of the ignition. The coil's 'plug' is intact and plug wires are good, cap and rotor are new. The plastic cover under the rotor is a little rough around the edges and there's no seal like on my M103. I've been able to start it in the past by spraying wd40 inside the cap and waiting overnight, but now it's not starting at all. Can the coil's secondary side be fubared yet still test normal?
