b. Disconnect the high-tension cord at the grommet. Do not pull on the high-tension cords.

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

3. Inspect high-tension cord resistance. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Spark Plug Cable Testing:

Maximum resistance: 25 kOhms per cord

If the resistance is greater than maximum, replace the high-tension cord.

4. Reconnect high-tension cords to distributor cap.

Removing Spark Plug Wires From Distributor:

a. Install the grommet portion into the terminal hole of the distributor cap.
