Preventive measures
Great Wall automotives are driven by petrol engine, which works after the mixture of petrol and air has been
ignited by the high-voltage electric spark produced by one set of ignition system installed inside the engine. And
the ignition system has such function as to transform the low-voltage provided by battery into a high-voltage
current able to ignite the inflammable gas mixture inside engine cylinder; and to distribute the high-voltage
current on time to the spark plug at each engine cylinder as per engine working procedure. And electric sparks
produced between electrodes of spark plug will ignite the inflammable gas mixture to push the piston for actions,
and to drive the connection rod of crankshaft, and to make the engine working.
The preventive measures are given below
1.If the engine can not be started, do not have the ignition key being connected for over ten minutes;
2.During the connection between system and the tachometer, the test line of tachometer shall be connected to
the negative terminal of ignition coil;
3.To prevent any damage on igniter or ignition coil, do not have the terminal of tachometer contacted withground
4.Do not dismantle the battery while engine is running;
5.Always verify whether the igniter has been connected well with the cover.

Vehicle inspection
Spark plug test check the form of spark plug
1. Remove the high-tension wiring from spark plug
2. Remove the spark plug
3. Spark plug needs to be installed on each high-tension wiring
4. Spark plug will be grounded
5. Check whether the ignition works when engine starts running.
Note Following test may be performed when the
ignition does not work.

IG-4 Ignition system- Inspection on high-tension wiring, inspection on spark plug

Inspection on high-tension wiring


1. Remove the high-tension wiring. Hold the rubber cover with
hand, removing the high tension wiring from the spark plug
carefully.
Note Dragging, pulling or bending the hightension wiring might
cause some damages on internal conductors.

2. Check the resistance of high-tension wiring


Resistance may be measured with an ohmmeter when
the cover is not opened. Unit K

Inspection on spark plug


1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Clean the spark plug.
Clean the spark plug with cleaner or steel wire brush.

3. Check the spark plug visually


Check whether the electrode of spark plug has been abraded, whether
screw thread or insulator has been damaged. Spark plug needs to be
changed whenever there’s any abnormality.
Recommended spark plug F6RTC

4. Adjust the clearance of electrodes.


Following a careful bending of bypass electrode, correct electrode
clearance may be acquired by adjustment.
Correct electrode clearance (1.0 1.2)mm

5. Install the spark plug
