Inspection
INSPECTION1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG
a. Clean the spark plugs.
Air pressure: Below 588 kPa (6 kg/sq.cm, 85 psi)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
b. Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator.
If there is damage, replace the spark plug.
c. Adjust electrode gap.
Electrode gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
Maximum electrode gap: 1.46 mm (0.057 in.)
2. INSPECT VVT SENSOR
a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
RESISTANCE:
835 - 1400 Ohm at cold
1060 - 1645 Ohm at hot
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:
1630 - 2740 Ohm at cold
2065 - 3225 Ohm at hot
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).
