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)
