Ignition System: Testing and Inspection

CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS:





- Remove the No.3 timing belt cover.





- Disconnect the high-tension cords (from the ignition coils) from the distributor caps.

NOTICE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.





- Hold the end about 12.5 mm (0.50 in) from the body ground.
- Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.

HINT: To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors during this test, crank the engine for no more than 1 - 2 seconds at time.





- If the spark does not occur, perform the test in the image above.





- Reconnect the high-tension cords to the distributor caps.

NOTICE: Install the high-tension cord by pressing on the correct place as shown in the illustration. If not done this way, the high-tension cord will interfere with the camshaft timing pulley.

- Reinstall the No.3 timing belt covers.
