lgnition System
lgnition Coil Test
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the
terminals. lf the resistance is not within sDecifications,
replace the ignition coil.
NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature;
specifications are at 68"F (20'C).
Plimary Winding Resistance
{Between the A and B terminals):
0.6it - 0.77 0
Secondary Winding Resistance
{Between the A and secondary winding terminals):

lgnition Wire Inspection and Test
1.Carefully remove the ignition wires by pulling on
the rubber boots. Do not bend the wires; you might
break them inside.
Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. lf
any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken
or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
IGNITION WIRE
Connect the ohmmeter probes and measure resis-
tance.
lgnition Wire Resistance:
25 kO max. at 68'F 120'Cl
IGNITION WIRE
4. lf the resistance exceeds 25 kO, replace the ignition
wire.

7.
Disconnect ground from the No. 3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return. lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5. and disconnect ground
from the No. l terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lf it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
lf you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator,

rate the ball joint and lower arm, Be caretul not to
damage the ball joint boot, lf necessary, apply pen-
etrating type lubricant to loosen the ball joint,
