Test an ignition pickup on a FIAT Spider.

Don't get stranded, plan ahead and always keep a spare ignition magnetic pick up coil in the glove box of your classic Spider. This OEM Magneti Marelli is the best quality available.

Works with Magneti Marelli electronic ignition as well as OE Marelli Plex distributors. It is located inside the distributor and if it fails, your Spider will not start. Should be inspected yearly. Replace if insulation looks worn or cracked as exhaust heat can cause damage. If several parts of the distributor need replacement consider replacement with one of our new distributors.

Having electronic ignition problems and trying to determine which component needs to be replaced? Testing the pickup is quick and easy.

• Find the lead coming from the distributor and follow it over to the module mounted behind the coil. Unplug the lead from the module.
  
• Using a multi-meter insert probes, one in each connector from the pickup.
  
• Be sure your meter is set on ohms. If you have a reading of 700 to 800 ohms your pickup is good.
