INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG

NOTE:
- Do not clean the spark plug with a wire brush.
- Do not adjust the gap of the used spark plug.

a. Clean the spark plug.

1. Using a spark plug cleaner, clean the spark plug.

HINT:
- If the electrode is wet, dry it first, then clean it with a spark plug cleaner.
- If the spark plug is wet with oil, remove the oil with gasoline before using a spark plug cleaner.

b. Check the appearance.

Recommendes Spark Plug:

1. Check that the threads or insulator of the spark plug are not damaged.

c. Inspect the gap.
1. Using a spark plug gap gauge, measure the gap of the spark plug.
Standard: 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.)
Maximum: 1.2 mm (0.047 in.)

If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.

2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Inspect the resistance.

1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" mean the temperature of the parts themselves. "Cold" is from -10 to 50 °C (from 14 to 122 °F) and "Hot" is from 50 to 100 °C (from 122 to 212 °F).

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.

3. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
a. Inspect the resistance.
