When Subaru Select Monitor is not used, attach the
pickup sensor on tachometer (Secondary pickup type) to
#1 cylinder spark plug cord.

This ignition system provides simultaneous ignition for
#1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that some tachometers
may register twice that of actual engine speed.

minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C“ON”, no load and gears in neutral
(MT) or N or P (AT) position]:
850±50 rpm
