1H-4 Ignition System:
Ignition System Symptom Diagnosis
Condition
Engine cranks, but will
not start or hard to start
(No spark)
Poor fuel economy or
engine performance
Reference Waveform of Ignition System
Refer to "Reference waveform No.5", "Reference waveform No.6" and "Reference waveform No.7" under "Inspection
of ECM and Its Circuits in Section 1A" for waveform of Ignition trigger signal.
Ignition System Check
Step
1
Was "Engine and Emission Control System Check"
performed?
2
Ignition spark test
1) Check all spark plugs for condition and type referring to
"Spark Plug Inspection".
2) If OK, perform ignition spark test referring to "Ignition
Spark Test".
Is spark emitted from all spark plugs?
3
DTC check
1) Perform DTC check referring to "DTC Check in Section
1A".
Is DTC stored in ECM?
4
Electrical connection check
1) Check ignition coil assemblies and high-tension cords
for electrical connection.
Are they connected securely?
5
High-tension cords check
1) Check high-tension cord for resistance referring to
"High-Tension Cord Inspection".
Is check result satisfactory?
