Does any igniter pass TSRM IG-15?

I have three igniters that all test the same way using the ohm meter setup per tsrm and an Actron ignition module tester cp9087.

If you get a chance to video an igniter passing the test I'd love to see it.

I think that you might be doing the test wrong for IG1 and IG3.

When doing the test for IG1, the 3v's needs to be applied to both pins 2 and 4 and for IG3, the 3v's need to be applied to both pins 2 and 3.

If you are doing what I think that you are (just applying 3 volts to one pin each time), then you are not triggering the cylinder detection circuit built into the igniter.

pin 2 (IGT) has to have voltage applied to fire any coil, but if no voltage is allpied to either then only IG2 will fire. To get IG1 to fire, voltage has to also be applied to pin 4 (IGdB) along with pin 2 (IGT) and to get IG3 to fire, voltage has to be applied to pin 3 (IGdA) along with pin 2 (IGT).

OHHHHH, You mean that freaking dotted line means to have both connected?
I thought is was showing to move the test signal from that pin to the others.
I can't wait to get home and do this test properly.
Thanks cjsupra90 for turning on the light switch. :bigthumb:

Plus, I'm going to narrow my plug gap to .028"

edit: Yep, that's what it says on (h) and (k). Reading Comprehension is crucial. :icon_redf
I fixed my image of the instruction page.

I may have two igniters for sale very soon :biglaugh:

mattjk - Are you talking mm or inch? Stock is .031"(.8mm) and I was set to .030", which is equivalent to .02mm smaller.
