2. A comprehensive visual inspection should be made to find possible causes of ignition system failure.
a. Check all fuses and grounds.
b. Check for correct mating of all connectors.
c. Check all connectors for corrosion or damage.
d. Check component wiring for damage.
3. Check TSB's for any aids in diagnosis, testing, warranty and recall information.
