Inspection
INSPECTION1. SPARK PLUG
NOTE: Try not to clean the irridium and platinum tip. However, when the cleaning is necessary, use of spark plug cleaner is recommended. Duration should be less than 20 seconds.
a. Check the spark plug for thread damage and insulator damage.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug:
DENSO made SK20R11
NGK made IFR6A11
b. Check the electrode gap.
Electrode gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
Maximum electrode gap: 1.2 mm (0.047 in.)
NOTE:
- This engine is fitted with irridium-tipped spark plugs. Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap.
- Do not scratch the irridium and platinum tip between electrode gap.
2. CRANK POSITION SENSOR NO.1
a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the 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. CRANK POSITION SENSOR
a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the 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).
