RX7 & RX7 Turbo: Spark

  1. Crank engine. Check for a strong Blue spark at coil wire (if applicable) and at each spark plug wire wit ha low voltage spark tester (or by holding wire 5/16" from ground). Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires.
  2. Using ohmmeter, check resistance of high tension leads. Resistance should be 3280 ohms per foot. Disconnect and inspect all related ignition system connectors and harness. Clean or repair as necessary and recheck SPARK. If okay, go to next step.
CAUTION: During testing procedure, ensure high tension leads remain connected to coil. Disconnecting of high tension leads may cause high voltage sparks. Ensure battery is fully charged.
