Spark Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Acura 2.5TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Crank engine. Using a high output spark tester, check for a strong Blue spark at each secondary ignition plug wire. If spark is not as described, go to next step.
  2. Verify resistance of each spark plug wire is not more than 25,000 ohms. Unplug and inspect all related ignition system connectors and harness. Clean or repair as necessary, and recheck spark. If strong Blue spark is still not present, go to IGNITION CONTROL MODULE INPUT TEST .
