ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS8-46a. Disconnect the diode from the wire har-ness.b. Connect the digital circuit tester () to thediode coupler as shown.c. Check the diode for continuity.d. Check the diode for no continuity.EAM30294CHECKING THE IGNITION SPARK GAP1. Check:• Ignition spark gapOut of specification Perform the ignitionsystem troubleshooting, starting with step (5).Refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” on page8-3.TIPIf the ignition spark gap is within specification,the ignition system circuit is operating normally.a. Remove the spark plug cap from the sparkplug.b. Connect the ignition checker “1” asshown.c. Crank the engine, and measure the igni-tion spark gap “a”.d. Crank the engine, and gradually increasethe spark gap until a misfire occurs.EAM30295CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG CAP1. Remove:• Spark plug cap(from the spark plug lead)2. Check:• Spark plug cap resistanceOut of specification Replace.a.
