UPDATE2: fuel starvation/loud pump on 83 urq and coil question

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

The latest on my 83 urq no-power-stumbling condition is that there is no
strainer in the fuel distributor and while I was around there I checked the
coil resistances. Primary 1.1Ohm, secondary 3.4KOhm, which is out of spec
for an urq coil, but is EXACTLY the same as the specs for my 4kq parts car
coil, and that car was a runner until it met a Jetta at 90degrees.

So, this brings up another question: is a coil a coil? Or does the
urq-specific coil have more than a cute plastic cap to differentiate it?

Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
