Ignition Coil Inspection
- Perform the spark test and identify the malfunctioning cylinder. (See «ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]»(ref-615397-S33190429702014051000000) ).
- Replace the ignition coil of the malfunctioning cylinder with that of a normal cylinder, and perform the spark test again. (See «ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]»(ref-615397-S33190429702014051000000) ). If the spark is not normal due to a malfunctioning ignition coil, replace that ignition coil. It is unlikely that all four ignition coils fail to operate properly. To prevent replacing a normal component, perform the above procedure, identify the malfunctioning ignition coil, and replace it.
Plug Gap Inspection
| CAUTION | To avoid possible damage to the tip, do not adjust the plug gap. To prevent damaging the tip, use a wire type plug gap gauge when inspecting the plug gap. |
- Measure the spark plug gap using a wire type plug gap gauge. If not within the standard specification, replace the spark plug. Spark plug gap Standard: 0.75-1.10 mm {0.030-0.043 in} New spark plug (reference): 0.75-0.85 mm {0.030-0.033 in}
