C I (3.8L): Spark

Disconnect tachometer wire (if equipped). A shorted tachometer will prevent engine from starting. Disconnect Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor. Attempt to start engine. If engine starts, see appropriate CMP sensor DTC test in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. Using Spark Tester (J-26792), check for adequate spark. Check for spark on plug wires No. 1, 3 and 5 (one at a time). Leave companion cylinder plug wire connected while checking for spark. When removing spark plug wire from spark plug, twist and pull on boot. DO NOT pull on wire.
