This would be on a 2000 Chevy Silverado . I haven't seen the truck yet, so I don't know what kind of ignition it is (ie - distributor, distributorless, coil on plug). Can anyone help me out? Thanks, Jim

I know haynes maunals are kind of frowned upon here, but one of those and a multi-meter would be where I would start.
Autozone should have a book with the specs for a bunch of coils and how to test them. Its usually hidden under the alt/starter tester and no one knows how to use it with all the letters and numbers you can't click on.
Like a 9volt CD battery; with your toung.

true story. they all have one, but first you have to find someone that can read AND knows what an ignition coil is.
