Caution: Use only electrically insulated pliers when
handling ignition wires with the engine running to
prevent an electrical shock.
Caution: Do not pinch or restrict nylon fuel lines.

IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
Circuit Description
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses a waste spark
method of spark distribution. In this type of EI system,
the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is mounted to the
oil pump near a slotted wheel that is a part of the crank-
shaft pulley. The CKP sensor sends reference pulses to
the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM then trig-gers the EI system ignition coil. Each cylinder is individu-
al with coil per cylinder in sequence.
This leaves the remainder of the high voltage to be used
to fire the spark plug in the cylinder on its compression
stroke. Since the CKP sensor is in a fixed position, tim-
ing adjustments are not possible or needed.

handling ignition wires with the engine running to
