while the engine is idling to check whether the engine’s
running performance changes or not.

Caution
Wear rubber gloves while doing so.
(2) If the engine performance does not change, check the
resistance of the spark plug cable, and check the spark plug
itself.
SPARK PLUG TEST
(1) Remove the spark plug and connect to the spark plug cable.
(2) Ground the spark plug outer electrode (body), and crank the
engine.
