Coleman BBQs - Self Help: Instastart™ Ignition Troubleshooting

Resolving InstaStart™ Ignition Performance Issues

If you are having difficulty with your BBQ’s Electronic Ignition a quick visual inspection of the following
will help to identify the cause:

Check for un-plugged electrode wires or ground wire.
Check wires for damage including tears or breaks
Check electrode for cracks in the porcelain insulator
Replace battery. Ensure battery is installed correctly with
the positive end facing outwards.
Check battery igniter cap for proper threading
Check gap between electrode, gas collector box and burner
Check for damage to Electronic Igniter Box.
Check to ensure that the Electrode sparks when the igniter button
is pressed.

Replace the battery. Open the Lid.
Press Ignition button and listen for rapid clicks.

If a "spark" is not visible at the electrode and
burner connection:

Locate the Electronic Ignition box on the back of the control panel. Check all wire connections.
Disconnect the corresponding wire and reconnect by pushing the wire in tightly at the connection point.
If the electrode still does not spark, but a spark and
sound can be heard at the other Ignition points,
replace the faulty wire.

Note: All main burner and side burner connection points
are the same.
