    Hello, I am looking for someone who has an e46 with an n42 / n46 engine or has access to such efficient coils and could measure the parameters. The thing is that in this video https://youtu.be/31hfc1YBSLc it is shown that a working coil has a value of 0.8 Ohm on the extreme pins. I measured 4 coils at home and there is a big difference between this value. Can somebody help me and measure if it really is so? Unfortunately, I am not sure for my coils because I have a problem with the ignition falling out. I am asking for quick info because I need a car and it is impossible to drive.

    I mention that today I bought a new ngk coil - I measured and has about 1.4 Ohm. Is it possible that other manufacturers have different resistance in the coils? I have new candles. I will add that the car starts working properly when the engine heats up. In addition, there is a lack of power on the cold up to 3 thousand, above it goes ok, and when warm it is normal.

    In my opinion, the primary circuits are OK. Don't look here probably.
    How parameters from other sensors? Flow, etc.

    It's not a coil, read valvetronic to try to unplug the plug.

    New vvt actuator, recently replaced. The problem appeared recently, the ignition was sporadic, I replaced the candles, the week was ok, then it started to go crazy

    did you find a solution?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around ignition issues in a BMW E46 with N42/N46 engines, specifically concerning coil resistance measurements. The original poster seeks assistance in measuring coil parameters, noting discrepancies in resistance values compared to a reference video. They mention purchasing a new NGK coil with a resistance of 1.4 Ohm and express concerns about potential variations in resistance among different manufacturers. The car exhibits ignition loss and power issues when cold, improving as the engine warms up. Responses suggest checking other sensors and components, such as the Valvetronic system and VVT actuator, rather than focusing solely on the coils.
