1. CAREFULLY REMOVE HIGH-TENSION CORDS BY THE RUBBER BOOTS FROM SPARK PLUGS.

CAUTION: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.









2. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance without disconnecting the distributor cap.

Maximum resistance: 25 k-ohms per cord

- If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals. if necessary, replace the high-tension cord and/or distributor cap.
