16 1. Ignition “Off”. 2. With DVM, check for an open in the ground wire atthe ignition coil harness connector.
Was the ground wire OK? — Go to Step 17Verify repair
17 Replace the ignition coil, verify the repair. Attempt to start the engine.
Is there still a problem? — Go to Step 18Verify repair
18 Use an ohmmeter to check the ignition coil primary winding resistance.
Was the primary winding resistance approximately
equal to the specified value? 0.8-18kΩGo to Step 19 Go to Step 20
19 Use an ohmmeter to check the ignition coil secondary winding resistance.
Was the primary winding resistance hear around the

20 Replace the ignition coil. — Verify repair —
21 1. Remove the spark plugs from all cylinders. 2. Visually inspect the spark plug electrodes.
3. Replace any spark plugs with loose or missing electrodes or cracked insulators.
