Ignition System: Inspection

NOTE: Try not to clean the irridium and platinum tip. However, when the cleaning is necessary, use of spark plug cleaner is recommended. Duration should be less than 20 seconds.

Sparkplug
1. Check the spark plug for thread damage and insulator damage.
  If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
  
  Recommended spark plug:
  - DENSO MADE SK20R11
  - NGK MADE IFR6A11

2. Check the electrode gap.
  Electrode Gap: 1.0-1.1 mm (0.039-0.043 in.)
  
  Maximum Electrode Gap: 1.2 mm (0.047 in.)

NOTE:
- This engine is fitted with irridium-tipped spark plugs. Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap.
- Do not scratch the irridium and platinum tip between electrode gap.

Crank Position (CKP) Sensor No. 1 (RH Cylinder)
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
  Resistance:
  - Cold 835-1400 ohms
  - Hot 1060-1645 ohms
NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" on the table express the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
