Inspection
INSPECTION1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG
a. Clean the spark plugs.
If the electrode has the traces of wet carbon, clean the electrode with a spark plug cleaner then dry it.
Air pressure: Below 588 kPa (6kg/sq.cm, 85 psi)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
b. Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator.
If there is damage, replace the spark plug.
c. Adjust the electrode gap.
Electrode gap: 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.028 to 0.031 in.)
2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
RESISTANCE:
1630 to 2740 Ohms at cold
2065 to 3225 Ohms at hot
NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
3. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
RESISTANCE:
985 to 1600 Ohms at cold
1265 to 1890 Ohms at hot
NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" mean the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
