Avenger & Sebring Coupe 2.5L
- Remove No. 2 spark plug cable. Insert new spark plug in cable boot. Ground body of spark plug and crank engine. If spark occurs, check for spark at remaining spark plug cables. If spark from one or more cables is weak or missing, check ignition coil, transistor and spark plug cables.
- Disconnect distributor wiring connector. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between coil terminals No. 11 and No. 12. See Fig 1
. Resistance should be .6-.8 ohm. Check resistance between coil terminal No. 11 and high voltage terminal. Resistance should be 12,000-18,000 ohms. Replace coil if any resistance is not as specified.
- Disconnect transistor wiring connector. Connect a 1.5-volt battery positive terminal to transistor terminal No. 6. See Fig 1
. Connect negative battery terminal to transistor terminal No. 5. Using an analog ohmmeter, check for continuity between transistor terminals No. 5 and No. 12. Continuity should exist. Remove 1.5-volt battery. Check for continuity between transistor terminals No. 5 and No. 12. Continuity should not exist. Replace transistor if continuity is not as specified.
- Remove each spark plug cable. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of each spark plug cable. Resistance should be 22,000 ohms or less. Replace any spark plug cable that has resistance more than 22,000 ohms. Check spark plugs. Check camshaft position sensor, located in distributor. For camshaft position sensor testing, see
