INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high−tension cord from spark plug.
(b) Remove spark plug.
CHECK:
(a) Check the carbon deposits on electrode.
(b) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(1) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(2) Electrode gap: 1.1 − 1.3 mm (0.043 − 0.051 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to the high − tension cord.
(b) Disconnect injector connector.
(c) Ground spark plug.
CHECK:
Check 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.
OK:
Spark jumps across electrode gap.
NG Replace or check ignition system (See page
IG−1).
OK
2 Check voltage of ECM terminal for injector of failed cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove side trim cover (See page SF−61).
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between applicable terminal of ECM connec-
tor and body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 9 − 14 V

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a signal plate and pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signals,
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G signal) consist of a signal plate an pickup coil.
The G signal plate has one tooth on its outer circumference and is built into the distributor.
When the camshaft rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change, caus-
ing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signal
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

DTC P1300 Igniter Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired
ignition timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) ”1” to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing
one revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ”O”.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil
which causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary
current is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.
