| Complaint: | Vehicle jerks with part load between 2000 and 3000 rpm. The complaint disappears under full load. |
|---|
| Cause: | The resistive suppressor of the ignition coil is broken. |
| Production: | Due to a production failure the ignition coil from production between 20th April 2009 and 18th September 2009 could be affected. |
Remedy:
In case of customer complaint measure the resistance between terminal 1 on the ignition coil and the high tension terminal from the spark plug. The resistance should be approx. 4~9 MOhm. The negative terminal has to be attached to terminal 1. As far as open circuit could be measured the ignition coil has to be exchanged.
Note: The production date is visible on the ignition coil.
