Test NF-2A - Checking Secondary Ignition & Timing
- Turn engine off. Connect a suitable engine analyzer to engine. Start engine, and let it idle. Set scope to read display or parade pattern. Follow equipment manufacturer procedure for pattern analysis.
- If secondary ignition pattern is not okay, repair indicated component in secondary ignition system. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-2. If secondary ignition pattern is okay, remove all lower spark plug wires individually from coil pack. Observe secondary kilovolt line.
- If open circuit secondary voltage is not at least 25 kilovolts, replace ignition coil module. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-2. If open circuit secondary voltage is at least 25 kilovolts, reconnect spark plug wires.
- Ensure engine temperature is more than 180°F (82°C) before proceeding. Using DRB-II, read spark advance. Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. If spark advance does not change with increase in RPM, replace Single Board Engine Controller (SBEC). Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-2. If spark advance changes with increase in RPM, test is complete.
