Amperage Draw Test
- Engine should be at normal operating temperature and battery should be at full charge. A voltmeter and ammeter will be required.
- Adjust voltmeter selector to 16 volts. Connect positive voltmeter lead to positive battery terminal and negative voltmeter lead to negative battery terminal.
- Connect positive ammeter lead to positive battery terminal and negative ammeter lead to negative battery terminal. Disconnect coil wire from distributor cap.
- Crank engine with a remote starter switch. Note exact reading on voltmeter. Turn voltmeter knob until that reading is obtained on scale.
- Crank engine over again and observe ammeter reading. Ammeter indicates starter amperage draw. Specified amperage draw is 47 amps.
