The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 5

    If the Misfire Current Counters are incrementing, but the engine is NOT misfiring, this indicates a mechanical condition. For example, an accessory drive belt could cause this condition.
  2. 7

    The spark should be consistent when you test the spark at the spark plug wires. The presence of few sparks then nothing indicates no spark.
