February 21, 201511 yr Author this is odd... ignition coil OK capacitor OK 30 volts AC output from source coil when kicking her over when checked from source coil wire to ground, but this voltage disappears when 'loaded'...as in when the source coil feed is connected to the ignition coil? I had a similar problem on a non running Nissan Primera last year, turned out to be a corroded wire, similar symptoms, I had volts (DC) 'unloaded' but the wire wasn't carrying a decent enough current and when 'loaded' the volts dropped right off...could be a similar issue I guess... ....puller is here so may have to pull the flywheel afterall
