Ignition Checks: Spark

NOTE: All models are equipped with a Distributorless Ignition System (DIS).
NOTE: Ensure high tension leads are routed properly after removal and installation.

Check for spark at each spark plug wire using a high output spark tester. Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires. High tension wire resistance should not exceed 16,000 ohms per 3.3 feet.
