If ignition defect occurs during normal engine operation, check condition of spark plug wires, coil high tension wire and spark plugs. If engine surges or misfires due to ignition malfunction, and wires and spark plugs are not defective, replace electronic control unit.

NOTE: Never disconnect spark plug wires when engine is running. This may cause high voltage to seek ground through distributor body, causing rotor damage or trigger plate deterioration.
