Sparking Test

  1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position. Remove distributor cap. Disconnect the high tension coil wire from distributor and hold it approximately 1/4" from a good ground. Ground should be as far away as possible from the ignition coil and electronic control unit.
  2. Move a magnet in a spiral motion over impulse sender stud. A spark should jump from the gap to ground as magnet passes over coil.
  3. If spark occurs but engine will not start, problem is in distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires or fuel system. If no spark occurs, proceed with component checks.
