Inspection

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG







a. Check the appearance.
1. Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator. If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.




b. Check the electrode gap.

Standard: 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.) for new spark plug

Maximum: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) for used spark plug.

If the result is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.







2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Check the resistance.
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils themselves. Cold is from -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) and Hot is from 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

If the result is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.







3. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Check the resistance.
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils themselves. Cold is from -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) and Hot is from 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

If the result is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
