Check Spark

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For tip disconnect high-voltage wires from spark plugs.
A warning When disconnecting the high-voltage wires from spark plugs pull the tip of the wire, not the cord, as it may be damaged.
2. Compressed air clean spark that will exclude dirt hit in cylinders of the engine after removing the spark plugs. Remove the spark plug using the spark plug spanner. To avoid damaging the spark candle key place strictly along the axis of the candle.
3. Connect the high-voltage spark plug wire.
	4. Hold the spark plug special pliers with insulated handles, keep the spark plug at a distance of 5-10 mm from the "masses."
A warning Do not touch the body of the car during the following operations.
5. The assistant should crank the engine starter, and the spark between the electrodes should be observed sustained strong spark.
6. In the absence of sparks or if the spark is weak, check the following.

Engine FE DOHC

Step	Check		Act
1	Check for a good connection the following components: - The ignition coil; - The ignition distributor.	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Repair or make replacement
2	Check the resistance of high-voltage wires Impedance: 16 ohms / m	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Replace wires
3	Check the electrical charge in the ignition coil 1. Turn the ignition switch 2. Check the electrical charge in the ignition coil (display "")	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Check the wiring between the ignition switch, ignition coil and control unit
4	Check the resistance of the ignition coil primary resistance: 0,81-0,99 Ohm (at 20 ?� C)	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Replace the ignition coil
5	Check the distributor cap ignition (the gap between the rotor and distributor cap)	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Replace the ignition distributor
6	Check the control unit RSM	Yes	-
		No	Replace the PCM control unit

Engine T8 DOHC

Step	Check		Act
1	Check the quality of the connection of the ignition coil	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Repair
2	Disconnect the ignition and check the electrical connection with the ignition	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Check the wires between the control unit and the ignition coil
3	Check the resistance of the ignition coil Resistance Primary: 0.45-0.55 ohms (at 20 ?� C) Secondary winding: 13-15 kW (at 20 ?� C)	Yes	Go to next step
		No	Replace the ignition coil
4	Check the control unit RSM	Yes	-
		No	Replace the PCM control unit
