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 : Approx. 0.5~0.6Ω at 20°C(68°F)

      Secondary Ignition Coil Resistance : Approx. 7.5~10.2kΩ at 20°C(68°F)

    4. Was a problem found in any of the above areas?

  2. Spark Plug Inspection
    1. Visually/physically inspect the spark plug related to the misfiring cylinder(s) for the following conditions
      • Damaged insulation, Worn electrodes, Oil or fuel fouled, Loose terminals and cracks
      • Check for electrode gap : 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
      • Check if the spark plug for the relevant cylinder is lighter in color than the other plugs.
