86 5kcstq code 2113

[Peter Berrevoets]

The bentley states "CAUTION The function of the power output stage of the
coil can NOT be checked."
reference; 1990 200TQ - MC turbo with 2 Knock Sensors

You can test around it and obvious failures require replacement but the
final spark can't be tested.

Again this applies to the later ignition. It gives tests for the various
components, but they could pass them all and still require a new coil.
