1) Set engine tester to 4 cylinder position on engine 119; 6 cylinder position on engine 120. Dwell and ignition voltage can only be checked for one ignition circuit at a time by using the appropriate diagnostic socket.

Test data are attained only with a fully charged battery and ambient temperature of 68° F.
2) kV-Clamp connected to cylinder 1 or on HFM-SFI kV clamp or kV probe connected per coils
3) Measured with adapter CD 1222. The voltage is approx. 0.5-0.6 V lower at circuit 1 than at circuit 15.

2) HC levels climbs during the cranking period.
3) On LH-SFI, HFM-SFI, ME-SFI engines, the fuel pressure is turned off by the control module if there is no ignition.
4) LH-SFI, HFM-SFI, ME-SFI systems.

Test data are attained only with a fully charged battery and ambient temperature of 68° F.
5) On HFM-SFI engines, dwell measurement is only possible using oscilloscope.

1) When accelerating to 3000 rpm, the ignition voltage should not exceed the idle speed voltage by more than 6 kV.
Example: idle speed voltage, 7 kV; 3000 rpm, 13 kV = an increase of 6 kV.
2) Use only the oscilloscope images for diagnosis on HFM-SFI, ME-SFI engines.
3) Measurable only with capacitive pick-up.

1) Before starting repairs based on test results, the closed throttle running quality should be judged from the driver's seat and compared with typical production vehicles
(in transmission range D). Test results may vary.
2) Deviations of more than ±0,5 ms per cylinder should be cross checked by alternate measurements.
