Symptoms
- After the engine has been warmed up, when the signal from the ion current combustion control system is not inputted to the EFI ECU while the engine is running
- After the engine has been warmed up, when the signal from the ion current combustion control system is inputted continuously to the EFI ECU while the engine is running
- When the signal f
Likely causes
- Open wire or short circuit for ion system circuit
- Ignition coil
- Spark plug
- EFI ECU
What to check, in order
- Is the ignition system normal?
- Is the signal from the ion current combustion control system normal?
- Is the combustion system normal?
- Is the harness between the ignition coil and the EFI ECU normal?
- Is the ignition coil is normal?
- Is the EFI ECU normal?
