Inspecting the spark plug shielded cap
Measure the shielded cap resistance.
Electric characteristic
Resistance:
5 KΩ
If different values are measured (<1; >20KΩ), replace the shielded cap.
N.B.
A SHIELDLESS CAP OR SPARK PLUG CAN AFFECT THE INJECTION SYSTEM.
FOR INFORMATION ON THE SPARK PLUG, SEE THE «SPECIFICATIONS» AND «MAINTE-
NANCE» CHAPTERS.
Spark advance
The ignition advance is determined electronically on the basis of parameters known by the control unit.
For this reason it is not possible to declare the reference values based on the engine rpm.
The ignition timing value is detectable any time using the diagnostic tester.
It is possible to check whether the ignition advance determined by the system does in fact correspond
with the value actually activated on the engine, by means of the stroboscopic light.
