in Section 6.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 9. Tighten CKP sensor
bolt, replace CKP sen-
sor or CKP sensor
plate.
9Ignition Trigger Signal Circuit Check
1) Check ignition trigger signal wire for open, short
and poor connection.
Is circuit in good condition?Go to Step 10. Repair or replace.
10A Known-good Ignition Coil Assembly Substitution
1) Substitute a known-good ignition coil assembly
and then repeat Step 2.
Is check result of Step 2 satisfactory?Go to Step 11. Substitute a known-
good ECM and then
repeat Step 2.
11Ignition Timing Check
1) Check initial ignition timing and ignition timing
advance referring to “Ignition Timing” in this sec-
tion.
Is check result satisfactory?System is in good con-
dition.Check CKP sensor,
CKP sensor plate and
input signals related to
this system.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
IGNITION SPARK TEST
1) Disconnect all injector couplers (1) from injectors.
2) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type refer-
ring to “Spark Plugs” in this section.
3) If OK, connect ignition coil coupler to ignition coil assembly
and connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly or high-ten-
sion cord. Ground spark plug.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
5) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described
under “Diagnosis” earlier in this section.
HIGH-TENSION CORDS
1) Remove air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Disconnect high-tension cords (2) from ignition coil assem-
blies (1) while gripping each cap.
3) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping
each cap.
4) Measure resistance of high-tension cord (1) by using ohm-
meter.
High-tension cord resistance
: 4 -10 k
Ω/m (1.2 - 3.0 kΩ/ft)
5) If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension
cord(s). WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test
and may get ignited in engine room.
CAUTION:
Removal of high-tension cords together with clamps
will be recommended so as not to damage their inside
wire (resistive conductor).
For the same reason, pull out each connection by grip-
ping cap portion.

6F1-6 IGNITION SYSTEM (ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM)
6) Install high-tension cords (2) to spark plugs and ignition coil
assemblies (1) while gripping each cap.
SPARK PLUGS
1) Remove air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
2) Pull out high-tension cords by gripping their caps and then
remove ignition coil assemblies referring to IGNITION COIL
ASSEMBLY in this section.
3) Remove spark plugs.
4) Inspect them for:
Electrode wear
Carbon deposits
Insulator damage
5) If any abnormality is found, adjust air gap, clean with spark
plug cleaner or replace them with specified new plugs.
For iridium/platinum spark plugs, replace them with new
plugs.
Spark plug air gap
“a” : 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.040 - 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type
NGK : BKR6E-11, IFR5E11
DENSO : K20PR-U11 CAUTION:
Never attempt to use metal conductor high-tension
cords as replacing parts.
Insert each cap portion fully when installing high-ten-
sion cords.
NOTE:
NGK IFR5E11 is highly recommended for better engine
starting performance under -25°C(-13°F).
CAUTION:
When servicing the iridium/platinum spark plugs (slen-
der center electrode type plugs), do not touch the cen-
ter electrode to avoid damage to it. The electrode is not
strong enough against mechanical force as it is slen-
der and its material is not mechanically tough
Do not clean or adjust gap for the iridium/platinum
spark plugs.

6) Install spark plugs and torque them to specification.
Tightening torque
Spark plug : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
7) Install ignition coil assemblies referring to IGNITION COIL
ASSEMBLY in this section.
8) Install high-tension cords securely by gripping their caps.
9) Install cylinder head upper cover and air intake pipe.
IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY
(INCLUDING IGNITOR)
Inspection
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove air intake pipe and cylinder head upper cover.
3) Disconnect ignition coil coupler.
4) Disconnect high-tension cord (3) from ignition coil assembly
(2).
5) Remove ignition coil bolts (1) and then pull out ignition coil
assembly.
6) Measure secondary coil for resistance.
If resistance is out of specification, replace ignition coil
assembly.
Secondary coil resistance
: 7.6 - 10.2 k
Ω at 20°C, 68°F
7) Install ignition coil assembly.
