      Clicking sound should be heard.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 6.

    NO

    Perform trouble diagnosis for FUEL INJECTOR, refer to Diagnosis Procedure .

  6. CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-I 
    CAUTION: Perform the following procedure in a place with no combustible objects and good ventilation.
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Remove fuel pump fuse No. in IPDM E/R to release fuel pressure.
      NOTE: Do not use CONSULT to release fuel pressure, or fuel pressure applies again during the following procedure.

    4. After engine stalls, crank it 2 or 3 times to release all fuel pressure.
    5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    6. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electrical discharge from the ignition coils.
    7. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be checked.
    8. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
    9. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
    10. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm (0.52 - 0.66 in) between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal portion as shown in the figure.
