(3) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect
the ignition coil connector.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
(5) See if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors dur-
ing this test, crank the engine for no more than 5 - 10 se-
conds at time.
If the spark does not occur, do the test as follows:
