Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

HIGH-TENSION CORDS INSPECTION







NOTICE: DO NOT pull on the cords when disconnecting them. Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.

1. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS.
- Disconnect the high - tension cords at the rubber boot.
2. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM DISTRIBUTOR CAP.






- Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and disconnect the holder from the distributor cap.
- Disconnect the high-tension cord at the grommet.
3. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE.






- Using an ohmmeter measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 k Ohms per cord

- If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals.
- If necessary, replace the high-tension cord.
4. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO DISTRIBUTOR CAP.





- Connect the holder and grommet portion to the distributor cap as shown the illustration.






TIP: Check that the holder is correctly installed to the grommet and distributor cap as shown in the illustration.






- Check that the lock claw of the holder is engaged by lightly pulling the holder.
5. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO SPARK PLUGS.






- Secure the high-tension cords with the clamps as shown in the illustration.
