Ignition System Inspection

  1. Spark Plug Cable & Ignition Coil Inspection
    1. Visually/physically inspect the spark plug cable and ignition coil related to the misfiring cylinder(s) for the following conditions
      • Damage, cracks, carbon and flashover
      • Poor connection or damaged harness
      • Connected to the incorrect cylinders at the ignition coil and spark plug
    2. Measure the resistance of the spark plug cable related to the misfiring cylinder(s)

      Specification : 5.6kΩ/m ±20%

    3. Measure the resistance of the primary and secondary ignition coil related to the misfiring cylinder(s)

      Specification :

      Primary Ignition Coil Resistance : 0.56~0.68Ω at 20°C (68°F)

      Secondary Ignition Coil Resistance : 6~8kΩ at 20°C (68°F)
