Engine hesitates –
Momentary lack of
response as accelerator
is depressed. Can occur
at all vehicle speeds.
Usually most severe when
first trying to make
vehicle move, as from a
stop sign.Spark plug faulty

Surge – Engine power
variation under steady
throttle or cruise. Feels
like vehicle speeds up
and down with no change
in accelerator pedal. Leaky or loosely connected high-tension
cord

High-Tension Cord InspectionS7RS0B1806002
Measure resistance of high-tension cord (1) by using
ohmmeter.
If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension
cord(s).
High-tension cord resistance
No.1 cylinder high-tension cord resistance: 1.4 – 4.0
k Ω
No.3 cylinder high-tension cord resistance: 0.6 – 2.0
k Ω
Spark Plug Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1806003
Removal
1) Remove air cleaner assembly with air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Pull out high-tension cords by gripping their caps and then remove ignition coil assemblies referring to
“Ignition Coil Assembly (Inc luding ignitor) Removal
and Installation”.
3) Remove spark plugs.
Installation 1) Install spark plugs and tighten them to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Spark plug: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
2) Install ignition coil assemblies referring to “Ignition Coil Assembly (Including ignitor) Removal and
Installation”.
3) Install high-tension cords securely by gripping their caps.
4) Install cylinder head upper cover and air cleaner assembly with air intake pipe.
Spark Plug InspectionS7RS0B1806004
CAUTION!
• When servicing the iridium / platinum
spark plugs (slender center electrode type
plugs), do not touch the center electrode
to avoid damage to it. The electrode is not
strong enough against mechanical force
as it is slender and its material is not
mechanically tough.
• Do not clean or adjust gap for the iridium / platinum spark plugs.

Inspect spark plug for:
• Electrode wear
• Carbon deposits
• Insulator damage
If any abnormality is found for nickel spark plugs, adjust
air gap, clean with spark plug cleaner or replace them
with specified new plugs.
For iridium / platinum spark plugs, replace them with
new plugs.
Spark plug air gap
“a”
: 1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.040 – 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type
NGK: IFR6J11 (Iridium)
NOTE
NGK IFR6J11 is highly recommended for
better engine starting performance under –25
°C (–13 °F).
