In this video I am going to show you how to bypass a magnetic type crank sensor (VRS) and force an ignition coil to fire. On some systems, the coil will not fire due to design differences but you can still look for other responses. This is a great direction based test and will help you determine very quickly whether or not you have an input or output problem within the ignition system.
