Test NTC-2A: Checking Secondary Ignition & Timing

NOTE: Perform TEST NTC-1A  before proceeding.
  1. Turn engine off. Connect engine analyzer to engine. Start engine, and let it idle. If engine will not idle, maintain engine speed for reading scope pattern. Set scope to read display or parade pattern. Follow equipment manufacturer's procedure for pattern analysis.
  2. If secondary ignition pattern is not okay, repair indicated component in secondary ignition system. Perform TEST VER-2A . If secondary ignition pattern is okay, using a spray bottle, spray ignition wires with water. DO NOT spray inductive pickup of test equipment. If ignition pattern did not change, go to next step. If ignition pattern changed, repair secondary ignition system as necessary.
  3. Momentarily disconnect each spark plug wire one at a time from distributor (2.5L) or ignition coil (2.0L and 2.4L). Observe secondary kilovolt line.
  4. If open circuit secondary voltage is not at least 25 kilovolts, replace ignition coil. Perform TEST VER-2A . If open circuit secondary voltage is at least 25 kilovolts, reinstall spark plug wires. Perform TEST VER-2A .
