|
| 5. |
Check the electrode. Measure the insulation resistance with an ohmmeter.
If the resistance is less than the specified value, adjust the electrode
gap.

shift lever in N position to warm up the engine until the temperature
of the engine coolant reaches 80°C.
|
| 3. |
Keep the engine running at 2500-3000 rpm in the N position for 15 minutes.
|
| [2nd Method] |
|
| 4. |
Start the engine and keep the engine running at idle for 2 minutes.
