2. . . Checking For SparkIf the engine is equipped with a separate ignition coil, remove the coil wire from the center of the distributor cap, install a spark tester, and crank the engine.A good coil and ignition system should produce a blue spark at the spark tester.. 3. . . Checking For Spark (continued)Typical causes of a no-spark (intermittent spark) condition include the following:Weak ignition coilLow or no voltage to the primary (positive) side of the coilHigh resistance or open coi1144
