Basic
Troubleshooting
Principies
An
engine
that
starts
and
runs
indicates
the
ignition
system
is
fundamentally
working-delivering
voltage
toat
least
some
of
the
sparkplugs
.
A
hard-starting
or
poor-running
engine,
however,
may
indicate
ignition
coil
problems,
cracked
or
dete-
riorated
spark
plug
wires
(4-cylinder
engines
only),
and
worn
or
fouled
spark
plugs
.
WARNING
-
Inefficient
combustion
(richair/fuel
mixture)
can
cause
the
catalytic
converter
to
overheat
and
plug
.
An
overheated
catalytic
converter
can
also
bea
tire

WARNING
-
If
a
spark
test
is
done
incorrectly,
damage
to
theen-
gine
control
module
(ECM)
or
the
ignitioncoil(s)
may
result
.
Checking
for
spark
is
difficult
onengines
with
distributorless
ignition
systems
.
Try
Rmovng
the
plugs
and
inspecting
for
differences
be-

them
.
A

plug
may
be
wet

If
