Ignition Systems - Solid State Ignition: Testing: Notes
CAUTION:
Do not use volt-amp test procedure or any test equipment that utilizes a knife switch on battery terminal. Only test procedures as outlined in this section are to be used.
If the ignition system is suspected of a malfunction, inspect for loose connections and tighten as necessary, then check secondary ignition circuit as follows:
- Remove coil high tension lead from distributor cap and turn ignition switch on. Hold high tension lead 3/16" from a good ground and crank engine. If spark is good then trouble is in secondary circuit.
- If no spark is observed, ensure that high tension lead is good. If high tension lead is good, disconnect the 3-way and 4-way connectors at electronic module and test (see test procedure tables) system at harness connectors.NOTE: Do not make tests at module terminals.
If all of the following tests comply with specifications, replace electronic module.
