Fuel Pump Relay
Remove fuel pump relay (located near heater duct under carpet). Apply positive 12 volts to relay terminals "A" and "B" together. See Fig. 3 .
Measure voltage between terminal "C" and ground, while individually grounding terminals "D" and "E". Ensure voltage is as specified. See
FUEL PUMP RELAY SPECIFICATIONS
table. If voltage is not as specified, replace relay.

IGNITION CHECKS
Firing Order
Inspect spark plug wiring routing. Ensure firing order is 1-3-4-2.
Spark
1. Crank engine. Check for a strong Blue spark at each spark plug wire by using a high output spark tester. Ensure resistance of each spark
plug wire is 4000-6000 ohms per foot.
2. Disconnect and inspect all related ignition system connectors and harness. Clean or repair as necessary, and recheck spark. If st il l n o
spark, go to IGNITION COIL POWER SOURCE
.
Ignition Coil Power Source
Disconnect primary wires at ignition coil. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between Black/White wire on harness connector and ground. If
voltage is not greater than 10 volts, check battery feed, ignition switch and fusible links. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to IGNITION
COIL RESISTANCE .
Ignition Coil Resistance
Measure resistance between primary terminals of coil. Measure resistance between positive primary terminal and coil tower. See IGNITION
COIL RESISTANCE table. Verify resistance between coil case and primary positive terminal is infinite. Replace coil if resistance
measurements are not within specifications.
IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE
IDLE SPEED & IGNITION TIMING
Ensure idle speed and ignition timing are set to specification. For adjustment procedures, see ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article.
SUMMARY
If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed to TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
If no hard codes are found in self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for diagnosis
by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.
