I want to bench test an ignition coil from my '99 TL3.2

What are the different resistance spec's across the (3) contact prongs?

Hello,

Here is a guide to help you test the ignition coil.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-an-ignition-system

You will need a voltmeter

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-use-a-voltmeter

Primary Winding Resistance 0.34 - 0.42 ohms at 68 deg F
Secondary Winding Resistance 1.71 - 20.9 K ohms at 68 deg F

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers
