Crank Mode

  1. Connect Spark Tester (D81P-6666-A) between ignition coil wire and engine ground. Crank engine while checking for spark at tester. If spark occurs, inspect distributor cap and rotor for damage or carbon tracking.
  2. If no spark occurs, remove distributor cap and crank engine to ensure distributor shaft rotates. If distributor shaft does not rotate while cranking engine, repair as necessary. If distributor rotates go to STATOR test.
