Bad Igniter?
Well... got my first CEL in a year. This time it's a code 14 and 26. Not worried about the 26, been noticing a fuel smell at startup and will be leaning it a bit. However the 14 points to a bad igniter, or possibly bad wiring. I've done a thorough visual inspection (and haven't touched the wiring in several months, makes me think not the issue) and found nothing wrong.
Is there any diagnostic check for the ignitor? Some sort of resistance check I can do on the terminals? Didn't find anything in the FSM, but maybe I missed something? If not, I guess I'll see if I can get my hands on another one, maybe from junkyard or something. |
I'm not aware of any way to test an igniter (short of putting an oscilloscope on the IGF output, but not even I would bother with that).
Good luck with a junk one; there's no reason you can't get a working igniter from a junkyard, but since you can't test them you'll never know if you got a bad one. |
I think I lucked out, I firmed up the connections (the clamp had broken) and greased the plug and no issues since. And the code 26 is fixed as well. I had never heard of an ignitor going bad... that's why I was a little lost on how to diagnose it.
