SPARK TEST
CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS
- Disconnect the high-tension cord (from the ignition coil) from the distributor cap.
- Hold the end approx. 12.5 mm (0.50 in.) from the body ground.
- See if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.

NOTICE: To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors during this test, crank the engine for no more than 5 - 10 seconds at time.





If the spark does not occur, perform the above test procedure.
