SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
NOTICE
The PCM may be damaged if dropped. Also, if the connector is disconnected when current is flowing, the excessive voltage may
damage the PCM. Always tum the ignition switch to OFF before servicing.
Use spark plugs with the correct heat range.
Using spark plugs with an incorrect heat range can damage the engine.
Some electrical components may be damaged if terminals or connectors are connected or disconnected while the ignition switch
is ON and current is present.
When sel"JiCing the ignition system , always follow the steps in the troubleshooting chart (page 5-4).
This ignition system is controlled by PCM .
The transistorized ignition system uses an electrically controlled ignition liming system . No adjustments can be made to the
ignition timing.
A faulty ignition system is often related to poor connections. Check those connections before proceeding.
Make sure the battery is adequately charged. Using the starter motor with a weak battery results in a slower engine cranking
speed as well as no spark at the spark plug.
