Inspection
INSPECTION1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG
NOTE:
- Never use a wire brush for cleaning.
- Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap on used spark plug.
- Spark plug should be replaced every 200,000 km (120,000 miles).
a. Check the electrode.
1. Using a Ohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance. Correct insulation.
resistance: 10 M Ohm or more
If the resistance is less then specified, proceed to step (d).
HINT: If a Ohmmeter is not available, the following simple method of inspection provides fairly accurate results.
b. Simple Method:
1. Quickly race the engine to 4,000 rpm 5 times.
2. Remove the spark plug.
3. Visually check the spark plug.
4. If the electrode is dry...OK.
5. If the electrode is wet...Proceed to step (C).
6. Reinstall the spark plug.
c. Check the spark plug for thread damage and insulator damage.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
d. Check the spark plug electrode gap.
Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
Correct electrode gap for new spark plug: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
e. Clean the spark plugs.
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and than clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure: Blow 588 kPa (6 kgf/sq.cm, 85 psi)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove is with gasoline before using the spark plug cleaner.
2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Using an Ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
RESISTANCE:
at cold 835 - 1400 Ohm
at hot 1060 - 1645 Ohm
NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" on the table express the temperature of the coils themselves."Cold" is from -10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) and "Hot" is from 50 °C (122 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F).

3. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Using an Ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
RESISTANCE:
at cold 1630 - 2740 Ohm
at hot 2065 - 3225 Ohm
NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" on the table express the temperature of the coils themselves."Cold" is from -10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) and "Hot" is from 50 °C (122 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F).
