16-48 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Ignition System

                           WARNING
    To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not
    touch the spark plugs or tester connections.

• Turn  the ignition switch on.
• Slide the engine start/stop switch to start position, turn the
  engine 4  5 seconds with the transmission in neutral to
    measure the primary peak voltage.
•   Repeat the measurements 5 times for one stick coil.
    Stick Coil Primary Peak Voltage
      Standard:     95 V or more

• Repeat   the test for the other stick coil.
  If the reading is less than the specified value, check the
    following.
     Stick Coils (see Stick Coil Inspection(16-47))
     Crankshaft Sensor (see Crankshaft Sensor Inspec-
     tion(16-45))
     ECU (see ECU Power Supply Inspection(3-39))
Spark Plug Removal
• Refer to the Spark Plug Replacement (see Spark Plug
  Replacement(2-60)).
Spark Plug Installation
• Refer to the Spark Plug Replacement (see Spark Plug
  Replacement(2-60)).
Spark Plug Condition Inspection
• Remove
  -60)).
            the spark plugs (see Spark Plug Replacement(2

• Visually inspect the spark plugs.
  If the spark plug center electrode [A] and/or side elec-
    trode [B] are corroded or damaged, or if the insulator [C]
    is cracked, replace the plug.
    If the spark plug is dirtied or the carbon is accumulated,
    replace the spark plug.
•   Measure the gap [D] with a wire-type thickness gauge.
    If the gap is incorrect, replace the spark plug.
      Spark Plug Gap:    0.8  0.9 mm (0.031  0.035 in.)

• Use the standard spark plug or its equivalent.
