Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection


HIGH-TENSION CORDS INSPECTION
1. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS





- Disconnect the high-tension cords at the rubber boot.
- Do not pull on the high-tension cords.

NOTICE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor Inside.

2. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORD FROM IGNITION COIL
3. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM DISTRIBUTOR CAP
4. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE





- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 k Ohm per cord

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