ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK SPARK PLUG CONDITION.
1) Remove the spark plug. IG(H6DO)-4, REMOVAL, Spark Plug.>
2) Check the spark plug condition. IG(H6DO)-5, INSPECTION, Spark Plug.>
Is the spark plug status OK? Go to step 2.Replace the spark
plug.
2CHECK IGNITION SYSTEM FOR SPARKS.
1) Connect the spark plug to ignition coil.
2) Release the fuel pressure.
3) Contact the spark plug thread portion on
engine.
4) While opening the throttle valve fully, start
the engine to check if spark occurs at each cyl-
inder.
Does spark occur at each cyl-
inder?
Check fuel pump
system. EN(H6DO)(diag)-

nostics for Engine
Starting Failure.>
Go to step 3.
3CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR IG-
NITION COIL AND IGNITOR ASSEMBLY.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ignition coil
& ignitor assembly.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the power supply voltage between
ignition coil and ignitor assembly connector
and engine ground.
Connector & terminal

of harness be-
tween the igni-
tion coil and
ignitor assem-
bly, and ignition
switch connec-
tor

•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust and dirt.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, in-
stallation, disassembly and replacement.
•Be careful not to burn yourself, because each part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified points.
•Before disconnecting connectors of sensors or units, be sure to disconnect the ground cable from battery.
