Basic Ignition System Checks: IDI: Spark

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Disconnect tachometer wire from IDI module (if equipped). A shorted tachometer will not allow vehicle to start. Temporarily remove IDI assembly and install Spark Plug Jumper Wires (J-36012). When removing spark plug wire from spark plug, twist and pull on boot. DO NOT pull on wire.
  2. Using Spark Tester (J-26792), check for spark at each spark plug wire. Leave other wires connected while checking for spark. Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires. Resistance should be about 25,000 ohms.
