Step
2 CHECK IGNITION SYSTEM FOR SPARKS.
1) Connect the spark plug to ignition coil.
2) Release the fuel pressure.
3) Contact the spark plug's thread portion on
engine.
4) While opening the throttle valve fully, start
the engine to check if spark occurs at each cyl-
inder.
3 CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT OF IGNI-
TION COIL.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ignition coil.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the power supply voltage between
ignition coil connector and engine ground.

4 CHECK HARNESS OF IGNITION COIL
GROUND CIRCUIT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between ignition
coil connector and engine ground.

5 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND IG-
NITION COIL CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Disconnect the connector from ignition coil.
4) Measure the resistance of harness
between ECM and ignition coil connector.
