Noteworthy Ignition Information

Consider the following important information when servicing the ignition system:
^ The ignition coil secondary output voltage is very high - more than 40,000 volts. Avoid body contact with the ignition high voltage secondary components when the engine is running or personal injury may result.
^ All four ignition coils are the same. Swapping ignition coils from one cylinder to another in order to determine the cause of a cylinder specific concern, can be a useful diagnostic procedure.
^ Be careful not to damage the secondary ignition terminal or boot when servicing the ignition system. Do not disassemble the ignition coil assembly for testing purposes.
^ Do not use a conventional tachometer in order to check engine speed on this ignition system. An inductive type pick-up can not be adapted to provide reliable engine speed information. Use a scan tool in order to monitor engine speed (RPM).
