Ignition System: Service Precautions






Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:

Do not touch or remove the ignition coil or the ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starter speed.

Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, if ignition is turned off.

If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting:

- Disconnect the connector - arrow - from the ignition coil.






If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:

Testing and measuring equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and be operated from there by a second person.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision while testing and measuring equipment is operated from the front passenger seat, the person sitting in that seat could be seriously injured when the airbag deploys.
