IGNITION SYSTEM
G-26prose procedureIgnition coil inspection for B6 DOHC engine. Coil is integral with the distributor.
Inspection
Check the following points. If a problem is found, replace the spark plug.
• Damaged insulation
• Worn electrodes
• Carbon deposits (If cleaning is necessary, use a plug cleaner or a wire brush. Clean the upper insulator also.)
• Damaged gasket
• Burnt condition
