SPARK PLUG CHECK AND CLEANING
<4G6>
M1163004300353
CAUTION
When pulling off the spark plug cable from the
plug always hold the cable cap, not the cable.
1. Remove the spark plug cables.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
CAUTION
•Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the iridium
plug.
•Always use a plug cleaner and finish cleaning
within 20 seconds. Do not use wire brushes.
Otherwise, the iridium and platinum tip may
be damaged.
3. Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is
exceeded.
Standard value: 1.0 − 1.1 mm
Limit: 1.3 mm
CAUTION
Be careful not to allow foreign matter in
cylinders.
4. Clean the engine plug holes.
5. Install the spark plugs.

IGNITION SECONDARY VOLTAGE
WAVEFORM CHECK USING AN
OSCILLOSCOPE
M1163001700170
MEASUREMENT METHOD
1. Clamp the secondary pickup around the spark
plug cable.
NOTE: .
•The peak ignition voltage will be reversed
when the spark plug cables No. 2 and No. 4,
or No. 1 and No. 3 cylinders are clamped.
•Because of the two-cylinder simultaneous
ignition system, the waveforms for two
cylinders in each group appear during
waveform observation (No. 1 cylinder - No. 4
cylinder, No. 2 cylinder - No. 3 cylinder).
However, waveform observation is only
applicable for the cylinder with the spark plug
cable clamped by the secondary pickup.
•Identifying which cylinder waveform is
displayed can be difficult. For reference,
remember that the waveform of the cylinder
attached to the secondary pickup will be
displayed as stable.
2. Clamp the spark plug cable with the trigger
pickup.
NOTE: Clamp the trigger pickup to the same
spark plug cable clamped by the secondary
pickup.

EXAMPLES OF ABNORMAL
WAV E F O R M S
Example 1
•Wave characteristics
Spark line is high and short.
•Cause of problem
Spark plug gap is too large.
Example 2
•Wave characteristics
Spark line is low and long, and is sloping.
Also, the second half of the spark line is distorted.
This could be a result of misfiring.
•Cause of problem
Spark plug gap is too small.Example 3
•Wave characteristics
Spark line is low and long, and is sloping.
However, there is almost no spark line
distortion.
•Cause of problem
Spark plug gap is fouled.
Example 4
•Wave characteristics
Spark line is high and short.
Difficult to distinguish between this and abnormal
waveform example 1.
•Cause of problem
Spark plug cable is nearly falling off (Causing a
dual ignition).
Example 5
•Wave characteristics
No waves in wave damping section.
•Cause of problem
Layer short in ignition coil.

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (red stripe) from
throttle body and connect it to a hand vacuum
pump.

removed.
3. When the engine is cold or hot, apply a vacuum of
53 kPa, and check the condition of the vacuum.
When engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature: 40°C or less)
When engine is hot
(Engine coolant temperature: 80°C or higher)
PURGE PORT VACUUM CHECKM1173001500177
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (red stripe) from the
throttle body and connect a hand vacuum pump to
the nipple.
2. Plug the vacuum hose (red stripe).3. Start the engine.
4. Check that a fairly constant negative pressure is
generated regardless of the engine speed.
5. If no negative pressure is generated, the port is
probably blocked and should be cleaned.
