SPARK TEST
CHECK CONNECTION OF IGNITION COIL, IGNITER
AND DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTORS.
CHECK RESISTANCE OF HIGH−TENSION CORDS
TRY ANOTHER IGNITER Maximum resistance: 25 kΩ per cord (See step 2)
CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO IGNITION COIL AND
IGNITER
1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
2. Check that there is battery positive voltage at ignition coil
positive (+) terminal.
Check wiring between ECM, distributor
and igniter, and then try another ECM.

(d) Inspect the secondary coil resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
positive (+) and high−tension terminals.
Secondary coil resistance:
Cold9.0 − 15.4 kΩ
Hot11.4 − 18.1 kΩ
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.
(e) Reconnect the high−tension cord to ignition coil.
(f) Reconnect the ignition coil connector.
5. INSPECT DISTRIBUTOR
(a) Remove the distributor cap.
Remove the 2 bolts, and disconnect the distributor cap
from the distributor housing.
(b) Remove the rotor.
(c) Inspect the air gap.
Using SST, measure the air gap between the signal rotor
and pick up coil projection.
SST 09240−00020
Air gap: 0.2 − 0.45 mm (0.008 − 0.018 in.)
If the air gap is not as specified, replace the distributor housing
assembly.
(d) Disconnect the distributor connector.
(e) Inspect the signal generator (Pickup coil) resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals.
Pickup coil resistance:
Cold135 − 220 Ω
Hot175 − 255 Ω
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the distributor hous-
ing assembly.
(f) Reconnect the distributor connector.
(g) Reinstall the rotor.
(h) Reinstall the distributor cap.
Install a new packing and distributor cap with the 2 bolts.

(a) Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector
from generator drive belt adjusting bar.
(b) Inspect the crankshaft position sensor resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals.
Resistance:
Cold985 − 1,600 Ω
Hot1,265 − 1,890 Ω
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor.
(c) Reconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
