Inspection
INSPECTION1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG [19100P]
a. Inspect the electrode gap of the spark plug.
NOTE:
- Do not adjust the gap except when the plug is new (the mileage of the vehicle is less than 600 miles), because of the iridium plug.
- Do not damage the iridium tip.
Plug type and electrode gap
If the gap is greater than the maximum, consumption of the iridium tip might cause it. In this case, exchange the spark plug with a new one.
b. Clean the spark plug.
NOTE: Cleaning of the spark plug should not be done, because it might cause the iridium tip to be damaged. However, in case that the spark plug is remarkably dirty and cleaning is necessary, cleaning must be done in the shortest time (less than 20 seconds) in order to protect the electrode.
2. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR [15100R]
a. Check the resistance.
1. Check the resistance between the terminals.
Resistance:
1,630 - 2,740 Ohm (when cold*)
2,065 - 3,225 Ohm (when hot*)
NOTE: Terms "when cold*" and "when hot*" in this text shows the temperature of the part itself to be inspected. Also, the temperature setting range is 20 ± 30°C (68 ± 54°F) when cold and 75 ± 25°C (167 ± 45°F) when hot.
3. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR [19300C]
a. Check the resistance.
1. Check the resistance between the terminals.
Resistance:
835 - 1,400 Ohm (when cold*)
1,060 - 1,645 Ohm (when hot*)
NOTE: Terms "when cold*" and "when hot*" in this text shows the temperature of the part itself to be inspected. Also, the temperature setting range is 20 ± 30°C (68 ± 54 °F) when cold and 75 ± 25°C (167 ± 45°F) when hot.
