Hello everone,
I need some help with my bronco. It just died while I was driving, no warning no sputter. The problem I found is that there is no power to the primary circut going to the coil. I have been using Chiltons manual to gide me in the test and it says that I should use a volt meter and ground it to the distributor base and test both wires to the coil for power. The positve side gives 12.8V and the negative side gives zero. The book says I should get at least 12V reading from both wires going to the coil. The only suggestion they give is to inspect the wiring from the TFI to the coil. I did a continuity test of the dead wire and it seems to be fine. What do I do now? Replace the TFI or is it something in the ignition switch or wiring from the ignition switch.
Thanks for the help, Jeremy
