Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Inspect Spark Test
1. Remove the spark plug cable.
2. Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark plug.
3. Remove the ignition coil.
4. Install the spark plugs to each spark plug cable.
5. Ground the spark plugs.
6. Check is spark occurs while engine is being cranked.

NOTE:
To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors during this test, crank the engine for no more then 5 - 10 seconds at time.




7. Using a spark plug socket, install the spark plugs.
8. Install the spark plug cable and ignition coil.
[2.7]
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Disconnect the VIS actuator connectors and injector connectors.
3. Remove the accelerator cable.
4. Remove surge tank sub assembly.




5. Remove the spark plug cable.
6. Remove the spark plug.
7. Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator.
Inspection Of Electrodes





8. Check the electrode gap(A).

Standard (New)
1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.) - Unleaded





9. Carefully remove the spark plug cable by pulling on the rubber boots(A).
Check the condition of the spark plug cable terminals(B), if any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it broken or distorted, replace the spark plug cable.




10. Connect the ohmmeter probes and measure resistance.

Resistance :5.6KOhms/m ± 20%





11. Resistance should not be higher than 10KOhms per meter of cable.
If resistance is higher, replace the cable.
