INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cord or ignition coil.
(b) Remove the spark plug.
CHECK:
(a) Check plug type.
(b) Check for carbon deposits on electrode.
(c) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(1) Twin ground electrodes type.
Recommended spark plug:
ND: K16TR11
NGK: BKR5EKB-11
(2) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(3) Electrode gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to the high-tension cord or ignition
coil.
(b) Disconnect the injector connector.
(c) Ground the spark plug.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cracked.
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 terminals for injector of failed cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the lower finish panel.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between applicable terminals of the ECM
connector and the body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 9 - 14 V
OK Go to step 4.

3 Check injector resistance of misfiring cylinder (See page MF-16).
NG Replace injector.
OK
Check for open and short in harness and con-
nector between injector and ECM (See page
IN-26).
4 Check fuel pressure (See page MF-1).
NG Check and repair fuel pump, pressure regulator,
fuel pipe line and filter (See page MF-5).
OK
5 Check injector injection (See page MF-16).
NG Replace injector.

OK
7 Check manifold absolute pressure sensor and engine coolant temp. sensor (See
page DI-41 and DI-45).
NG Repair or replace.
OK
Check compression pressure (See page EM-3), valve clearance (See page EM-4) and valve tim-
ing (See page EM-17).

1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check continuity between terminal KNK of ECM connector and body ground.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the lower finish panel.
(b) Disconnect the E7 connector of ECM.
CHECK:
Measure the resistance between terminal KNK of the ECM con-
nector and the body ground.
OK:
Resistance: 1 MW or higher
OK Go to step 3.
2 Check knock sensor (See page MF-50).
NG Replace knock sensor.
OK
3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and knock
sensor (See page IN-26).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
4 Does malfunction disappear when a good knock sensor is installed?
YES Replace knock sensor.
NO
Check and replace ECM (See page IN-26).
