DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E1-109 Engine Cranks But Will Not Run (Cont'd) Step Action Value(s) Yes No 7 1. Disconnect the ignition secondary wire at the No.1. 2. Install a spark tester (Use commercially available tool) at the end of the disconnected ignition coil. 3. Clip the spark tester (Use commercially available tool) to a good ground (not near the battery). 4. Observe the spark tester while the engine is cranking. Was a crisp blue spark observed? (Only one or two sparks followed by no result is considered the same as “No Spark." ) - Go to Step 16 Go to Step 8 8 1. Disconnect the ignition coil harness connector. 2. Check for an open or short circuit between the ignition coil and the ECM? Was a problem found? - Go to Step 9 Go to Step 10 9 Repair the faulty circuit. - Verify repair - 10 1. Ignition ON. 2. Using a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) check the ignition wire coil at the ignition coil harness connector? Was the voltage equal to the specified value? B+ Go to Step 12 Go to Step 11 11 Repair the open circuit. - Verify repair - 12 1. Ignition OFF. 2. With DVM, check for an open in the ground wire at the ignition coil harness connector. Was the ground wire OK? - Go to Step 14 Go to Step 13 13 Repair the faulty wire. - Verify Repair - 14 Replace the ignition coil, verify the repair. Attempt to start the engine. Is there still a problem? - Go to Step 15 Verify repair 15 Replace the EPROM or ECM. - Verify repair - 16 Use an ohmmeter to check the ignition coil primary winding resistance. Was the primary winding resistance approximately equal to the specified value? 0.8-18 Ω Go to Step 17 Go to Step 18 17 Use an ohmmeter to check the ignition coil secondary winding resistance. Was the secondary winding resistance hear arround the to the specified value? 2.5k Ω Go to Step 19 Go to Step 18 18 Replace the ignition coil. - Verify repair - 19 Test the resistance of the coil-to-spark plug secondary ignition wire. Was the resistance greater than the specified value? #1 cyl. 4.7k Ω #2 cyl. 3.9k Ω #3 cyl. 3.4k Ω #4 cyl. 3.1k Ω Go to Step 20 Go to Step 21 20 Replace the coil-to-spark plug secondary ignition wire and any other secondary wires which exceed the specified value. Is there still a problem? #1 cyl. 4.7k Ω #2 cyl. 3.9k Ω #3 cyl. 3.4k Ω #4 cyl. 3.1k Ω Go to Step 21 Verify repair |
