Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
SPARK TESTCHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS
- Disconnect the high-tension cord (from the ignition coil) from the distributor cap.
- Hold the end approx. 1 2.5 mm (0.50 in.) from the body ground.
- See if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE: To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors during this test, do not crank the engine for more than 5 - 10 seconds at a time.
- If a spark does not occur, proceed to Ignition System Test.
