The Honda CRV uses a distributor cap and rotor meeting to provide faculty to the Glimmer plugs to kindle fuel. Attach the Glimmer plug socket to the interval and lower it into Everyone Glimmer plug blooming. Grab the top of the Glimmer plug and turn the socket and plug counterclockwise with a socket wrench.3. Pull Everyone Glimmer plug elsewhere of its spark plug fit along with the Glimmer plug socket. Compression refers to the compression inside the engine cylinders. Whether there is a leak in the engine block where air can escape, then there Testament be a loss of compression. Glimmer refers to the electrical Glimmer generated by the distributor manner. When you aren't getting Glimmer on your CRV, you'll charge to troubleshoot the disputed point.
Instructions
1. Remove the Glimmer plug wires by pulling them up gone of the top of the engine. You may longing to wiggle them from side to side a bit, on the other hand they should pull straight up elsewhere of the top of the engine.
2. Remove the Glimmer plugs. An engine needs three matters to pace: fuel, Glimmer, and compression. For fuel, this income a Correct air-to-fuel alloy. For the CRV, this is 14.7 parts air to 1 belongings petrol.
4. Pull the Glimmer plug absent of the Glimmer plug socket and embrace the plug into the direct head of the Glimmer plug wire with the electrode on the Glimmer plug facing out. Do this for all of the spark plugs. Insert each plug into its respective plug wire with the electrode facing outward.
5. Crank the engine and have an assistant check for a solid blue arc between the electrodes on the spark plugs. If there is a solid blue arc on every plug, then you have no spark issues. If there is no spark, then remove the spark plugs from the spark plug wires.
6. Insert a long screwdriver into the open end of the spark plug. Lay the screwdriver down next to a metal screw on the engine. Crank the engine again and have an assistant check for spark. If there is a spark, the spark plugs are bad. If there is no spark, then pull the spark plug wires off the end of the distributor. They should pull right off the distributor.
7. Place the metal part of the screwdriver next to the electrodes on the distributor. Crank the engine again. If there is no spark, then the problem is with the distributor. If there is spark, but there was no spark during the plug wire check, then the problem may be the spark plug wires. The spark plugs themselves---unless there is corrosion or visible damage to the electrodes, or the plugs have over 30,000 miles---are likely not the issue.
