DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ DIS module spark quick test:
^ Remove all four plug wires at the coil towers.
^ Have an assistant crank the engine. You should see sparks appear alternately between each pair of coil towers during cranking.
^ The DIS module, crankshaft position sensor and the coil packs are good if sparks appear between the coil towers.
CAUTION: The DIS system can produce extremely high voltages. Do not attempt to service this system while the engine is running or is being cranked.
^ The measured resistance from tower to tower on the coils should be 7-10k Ohms.
^ The measured resistance of the crankshaft position sensor should be 700-900 Ohms.
^ To test for spark at spark plug wires use a spark test tool ST-125, or equivalent.
^ Engine firing order is 1-3-4-2.
^ Reversed CPS wires will result in a no start condition.
