Preliminary Checks

  1. Before testing ignition system, be sure battery is fully charged and in good condition. Ensure starter and fuel systems are operating properly. Ensure engine is in good mechanical condition.
  2. Ensure all electrical connections are clean and tight. Due to high voltage, use care when working on electronic ignition system. Connect or disconnect ignition system wiring ONLY with ignition off.
