JC1 - Check For Spark During Crank



- DTC: 1364, 1352, 1353 or 1354.

- Using a Neon Bulb Spark Tester (DTC D89P-6666-A) or Air Gap Spark Tester (D81P-6666-A), check for spark at all spark plug wires while cranking.

- When using the spark plug firing indicator, place the grooved end as close as possible to the plug boot. Very weak or no flashing may be caused by a fouled plug.

- Was spark consistent on all spark plug wires (one spark per crankshaft revolution)?

YES -- Ignition System OK. REFER to Symptom Flowcharts. Testing and Inspection

NO -- Go to JC2. Spark fault. JC2 - Check Plugs and Wires
