do you have a ohm meter. take the 2 small wires off coil and take your meter leads and touch where you unkooked the wires you should have low ohms. then touch one of the terimals where the small wires hook up to coil with meter lead and the other one into spark plug cap you should have low ohms. I do not know the electrical specs you may have to call your dealer to get them. on your cdi box or any electrical component can go bad anytime.

Hey fireman, cdi boxes will not just go bad sitting...do you have spark @ the plug when you disconnect the plug wire?
