4. Spark plug cap resistance
• Remove the spark plug cap from the spark
plug lead.
• Connect the pocket tester (“
Ω
x 1k” range)
to the spark plug cap as shown.
• Measure the spark plug cap resistance.
Spark plug cap resistance
at 20°C
3.75~6.25 KΩ
• Is the spark plug cap OK?
5. Ignition coil resistance
• Disconnect the ignition coil connectors
from the ignition coil terminals.
• Connect the pocket tester (
Ω
x 1) to the
ignition coil as shown.
• Measure the primary coil resistance.
Primary coil resistance
0.19~0.25
Ω
at 20°C
• Connect the pocket tester (
Ω
x 1k) to the
ignition coil as shown.
