ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
IGNITION SPARK TEST
1) Disconnect injector coupler at throttle body side.
WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector coupler, combustible gas
may come out from spark plug holes during this test and
may get ignited in engine room.
2) Remove spark plugs and connect them to high-tension cords,
and then ground spark plugs.
3) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
4) If no spark is emitted, inspect high-tension cords, spark plugs,
ignition coil, distributor, etc.
HIGH-TENSION CORDS
1) Remove high-tension cord at ignition coil while gripping its cap.
2) Remove distributor cap installed with high-tension cords.
3) Remove high-tension cord clamp from cylinder head cover.
4) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping each
cap.
CAUTION:

Removal of high-tension cords together with clamps
will be recommended so as not to damage their inside
wire (resistive conductor).

For the same reason, pull out each connection by grip-
ping cap portion.
5) Measure resistance of high-tension cord by using ohmmeter.
High-tension cord resistance: 10 – 22 kΩ/ m (3.0 – 6.7 kΩ/ft)

6F-6 IGNITION SYSTEM
6) If resistance exceeds specification, inspect distributor terminal
and replace high-tension cord(s) and/or distributor cap as re-
quired.
CAUTION:

Never attempt to use metal conductor high-tension cords
as replacing parts.

Insert each cap portion fully when installing high-tension
cords.
SPARK PLUGS
1) Pull out high-tension cords by gripping their caps and then re-
move spark plugs.
2) Inspect them for:

Electrode wear

3) If any abnormality is found, adjust air gap, clean with spark plug
cleaner or replace them with specified new plugs.
Spark plug air gap “a’’: 1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.039 – 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type : NGK BPR6ES-11

INSPECTION
Using an ohmmeter (1) to check continuity as the following.
“a” – “b”: No continuity
“a” – “c”: No continuity
“c” – “d”: Continuity (Approx. 2.2 kΩ)
If check result is not satisfactory, replace noise suppressor (2).

2) Disconnect ignition coil coupler.
3) Measure primary and secondary coil resistances.
Ignition coil resistance (at 20C, 68F)
Primary : 0.87 – 1.05 Ω
Secondary : 11.2 – 15.2 kΩ
4) If resistance is out of specification, replace coil with new one.
IGNITER
Before this inspection, prepare 5 V power supply (3 new 1.5 V bat-
teries), one 12 V 3.4 W light bulb and one 12 V battery (fully
charged).
1) Disconnect igniter coupler (1).
2) Remove igniter (2) from its bracket.
3) Arrange 3 new batteries in series (1) (check total voltage is about
4.7 V).
4) Connect light bulb (2) between “c” terminal of igniter (3) and bat-
tery (4) positive (+) terminal, then connect battery negative (–)
terminal to igniter body.
Also connect battery positive (+) terminal and “b” terminal of ig-
niter.
Check that the light bulb does not illuminate.
5) Connect negative (–) terminal of batteries (1) and igniter body.
Check that the light bulb illuminate when positive (+) terminal of
batteries (1) is connected to “a” terminal of igniter.
If inspection result is not satisfactory, replace igniter.
6) Install igniter and connect igniter coupler.

DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR
INSPECTION
Check cap and rotor for crack and their terminals for corrosion and
wear. Replace as necessary.
SIGNAL ROTOR AIR GAP
INSPECTION
1) Remove distributor cap and rotor.
2) Using thickness gauge, measure air gap, between signal rotor
tooth and CMP sensor (generator).
Signal rotor air gap “a”: About 0.2 mm (about 0.008 in.)
3) If gap is out of specification, loose CMP sensor (signal genera-
tor) securing screws. Using blade (–) screw driver, move CMP
sensor (generator) and adjust gap to specification. After adjust-
ment, tighten securing screws and recheck gap.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that CMP sensor (signal generator)
tooth is free from any metal particles.
4) Install distributor cap and rotor.
CMP SENSOR (PICKUP COIL) RESISTANCE
INSPECTION
1) Disconnect distributor lead coupler.
2) Measure resistance of pickup coil by using ohmmeter.
3) If resistance is out of specification, replace CMP sensor (signal
generator) as follows.
Pickup coil resistance:
185 – 275 Ω at – 10C (14F) – 50C (122F)
240 – 325 Ω at 50C (122F) – 100C (212F)
4) Remove distributor cap and rotor.
5) Remove CMP sensor (signal generator) securing screws and
lead wire clamp screws.
6) Replace CMP sensor (signal generator).

IGNITION TIMING
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift lever in
“Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T model), and
set parking brake.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool (1) to DLC (2) with ignition switch
OFF.
2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3) Make sure that all of electrical loads except ignition are
switched off.
4) Check to be sure that idle speed is within specification.
(Refer to SECTION 6E1)
5) Set timing light to No.1 high-tension cord.
6) Fix ignition timing to initial one as follows:
Select “MISC” made on SUZUKI scan tool and fix ignition tim-
ing to initial one.
7) Using timing light, check that timing is within specification.
Initial ignition timing (Ignition timing fixed):
5 ±3 BTDC (at idle speed)
Ignition order: 1-3-2
Special Tool
(A): 09900-27301 or 09930-76420
8) If ignition timing is out of specification, loosen flange bolts, ad-
just timing by turning distributor assembly while engine is run-
ning, and then tighten bolts.
Tightening Torque
(a): 15 N
.m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft)
9) After tightening distributor flange bolts, recheck that ignition
timing is within specification.
10) After checking and/or adjusting Initial Ignition Timing, release
ignition timing fixation by SUZUKI scan tool.
11) With engine idling (ignition timing not fixed, idle switch ON and
car stopped), check that ignition timing is about 10 BTDC.
(Constant variation within a few degrees from 10 indicates no
abnormality but proves operation of electronic timing control
system.) Also, check that increasing engine speed advances
ignition timing.
If above check results are not satisfactory, check CTP switch,
test switch terminal circuit and ECM.
