P219A AIR FUEL RATIO EC-1161 < DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS > [MR EXCEPT FOR NISMO RS MODELS] C D E F G H I J K L M A EC N P O 6. CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-1 CAUTION: Perform the following steps in a well-ventilated area with no combustibles. 1. Turn ignition switch OFF. 2. Remove fuel pump fuse from IPDM E/R to release fuel pressure. NOTE: CONSULT must not be used to release fuel pressure. It develops again during the following steps, if released by using CONSULT. 3. Start the engine. 4. After an engine stall, crank the engine two or three times to release all the fuel pressure. 5. Turn ignition switch OFF. 6. Disconnect all the harness connectors of ignition coil to prevent electric discharge from occurring in igni- tion coil. 7. Remove ignition coil assembly and spark plug of cylinder. Refer to EM-214, "Removal and Installation" 8. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder. 9. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil. 10. Allow a 13-17mm (0.52-0.66 in) spacing between spark plug and grounded metal portion as shown in the figure to fix the ignition coil with a rope or an equivalent. 11. Crank the engine for approximately 3 seconds to see if sparking occurs between spark plug and the grounded metal portion. CAUTION: • The discharge voltage becomes 20 kV or higher. There- fore, always stay away from the spark plug and ignition coil at least 50 cm (19.7 in) during the inspection. • Leaving a space of more than 17mm (0.66 in) may damage the ignition coil. NOTE: When the gap is less than 13 mm (0.52 in), a the spark might be generated even if the coil is mal- functioning. Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 7. NO >> GO TO 9. 7. CHECK COMPRESSION PRESSURE Check compression pressure. Refer to Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-45, "Intermittent Incident" . NO >> Check pistons, piston rings, valves, valve seats and cylinder head gaskets. 8. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART Check fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging. YES >> Replace fuel filter and fuel pump assembly. Refer to or (AWD models). NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts. 9. CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-2 1. Turn ignition switch OFF. 2. Disconnect spark plug and connect a non-malfunctioning spark plug. 3. Crank engine for approximately 3 seconds, and recheck whether spark is generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal portion. Is the inspection result normal? Spark should be generated. JMBIA0066GB Spark should be generated. |
