Has anyone done a Sr ignition coil trouble shoot? I might not be igniting properly. Checked my ecu and it looks fine to me. Still smell gas.

take off the coil from the cylinder head but leave it connected and crank the ignition. If it sparks it's working. Be careful though, that spark is pretty dangerous

Do you leave the spark plug on the coil booth? Can u use a multi meter for resistance

use a spark plug in the coil and lay the spark plug on a clean metal spot and watch for spark.
