ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATIONCheck operation sound from each injector.
(a) With the engine running or cranking, use a stethescopeto check that there is normal operating noise in
proportion to engine rpm.
(b) If you have no stethescope, you can check the injector transmission operation with your finger.
If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check the wiring
connector, injector or injection signal from the ECU.
2. INSPECT INJECTOR RESISTANCE (a) Disconnect the injector connector.

DESCRIPTION
The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under any and a\
ll operating conditions. Using
data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, i\
ntake air volume, engine temperature,
etc.) the microcomputer (ECU) triggers the spark at precisely the right ins\
tant.
The ECU monitors the engine condition by signals from each sensor, calculates the ignition timing and sends
an ignition signal to the igniter. High voltage from the ignition is distributed to each spark plug in th\
e appropriate
order to generate a spark between the electrodes, which ignites the air±fu\
el mixture.
IGNITERS The igniter temporarily interrupts the primary current with the ignition si\
gnal (IGT signal) from the ECU and
generates sparks at the spark plug. Also, as a fail±safe measure, when ignitio\
n occurs, an ignition confirmation
signal (IGF signal) is sent to the ECU.
IGNITION COIL
The ignition coil uses a closed core coil with the primary coil wrapped \
around the core and the secondary
coil wrapped around the primary coil. This allows the generation of a hi\
gh voltage sufficient to cause a spark
to jump across the spark plug gap.
DISTRIBUTORS
This correctly distributes high voltage to the spark plug of each cylind\
er in the specified ignition order.
ENGINE SPEED SENSOR The engine speed sensor detects the crank angle.
CAM POSITION SENSORS The RH and LH cam position sensors detect the cam angle.
