Ignition System: Service Precautions






Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following:

• Do not touch or remove the ignition coil or the ignition wires when engine is running or turning at starter speed.

• Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, if ignition is turned off.

If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting:

- Disconnect the connector - arrow - from the ignition coil.






If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:

• Testing and measuring equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and be operated from there by a second person.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision while testing and measuring equipment is operated from the front passenger seat, the person sitting in that seat could be seriously injured when the airbag deploys.
