Spark Check

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2002 Mazda Tribute, 2002 Mazda Protege5, 2002 Mazda Protege, 2002 Mazda Millenia, and 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Perform self diagnostic QUICK TEST to check for ignition-related fault codes, and repair as necessary. See QUICK TEST in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If no fault codes are retrieved, check ignition system wiring harness connectors for corrosion and tight fit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Clean or repair connectors as necessary.
  2. If wiring and connectors are okay, use Neon Bulb Spark Tester (D8IP-6666-A) to check for spark at each spark plug wire while cranking engine. If spark is strong and consistent at each spark plug (one spark per crankshaft revolution), ignition system is okay. If spark is not present, go to appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article.
