Testing pickup coils.... Can you? March 31, 2006, 06:58:37 PM Ok, I was sitting and scratching my head today wondering just how to test a pickup coil. No the Cougar is doing just fine, but I have a budy with a ford truck that believes he is having pickup coil problems. I'm wondering if there is a way to test one on the vehicle with an osciliscope(sp?)? Quote Selected
