Ignition System



Ignition and high tension components




Switch ignition off before:
- Connecting and disconnecting test instruments
- Connecting and disconnecting connectors.
- Taking readings with an ohmmeter.


High tension




Dangerous voltages are present at all points in the system, including connectors etc.

WARNING: The ignition system operates at high power and voltages. It is dangerous to come in contact with the high tension circuit - the ignition coil, spark plug caps and distributor cap.

WARNING: Avoid sparking when working on the fuel system, especially when working on injectors
