ELECTRONIC SPARK ADVANCE (ESA)
The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing
under any and all operating conditions. Using data provided
by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, in-
take air volume, eng. temperature, etc.) the microcomputer
(ECU) triggers the spark at precisely the right instant.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION (3S±FE)
SPARK TEST
CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS
(a) Disconnect the high±tension cords from the spark plugs.
(b) Remove the spark plugs.
(c) Install the spark plugs to each high±tension cord.
(d) Ground the spark plug.
(e) Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
HINT: To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors
during this test, crank the engine for no more than 1
± 2 seconds at a time.
If the spark does not occurs, perform the test as follows:
CHECK RESISTANCE OF IGNITION COIL

Resistance (Cold):
Primary 0.38 ± 0.46
Secondary 7.7 ± 10.4 k
CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO IGNITION

1. Ignition switch turn to ON.
2. Check that there is battery voltage at
ignition coil positive (+) terminal. CHECK RESISTANCE OF HIGH±TENSION

CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS
(a) Disconnect the high±tension cord from the distributor.
(b) Hold the end approx. 12.5 mm (0.50 in.) from body of vehicle.

GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use fender seat and floor covers to keep the vehicle clean
and prevent damage.
2. During disassembly, keep parts in the appropriate order to
facilitate reassembly.
3. Observe the following:
(a) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the neg-
ative cable from the battery terminal.
(b) If it is necessary to disconnect the battery for inspection
or repair, always disconnect the cable from the nega-
tive H terminal which is grounded to the vehicle body.
(c) To prevent damage to the battery terminal post, loosen
the terminal nut and raise the cable straight up
without twisting or prying it.
(d) Clean the battery terminal posts and cable terminals
with a shop rag.
o not scrape them with a file or other
abrasive objects.
(e) Install the cable terminal to the battery post with
the nut loose, and tighten the nut after installation. Do
not use a hammer to tap the terminal onto the post.
(f) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is properly
in place.
4. Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that they are
secure and correct.
5. Non±reusable parts
(a) Always replace cotter pins, gaskets, 0±rings and oil
seals etc. with new ones.
(b) Non±reusable parts are indicated in the component il-
lustrations by the ºrº symbol.
