Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

1. REMOVE NO.2 PCV HOSE
2. REMOVE AIR CLEANER HOSE
3. DISCONNECT THROTTLE CABLE





4. REMOVE NO.2 AND NO.3 CYLINDER HEAD COVERS
Remove the 4 bolts and cylinder head covers.
5. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS





(a) Remove the 2 mounting bolts of the No.1 and No.2 cord clamps.





(b) Disconnect the high-tension cords at the rubber boot. DO NOT pull on the cords.

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

6. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND IGNITION COIL





(a) Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and disconnect the holder from the distributor cap (ignition coil).





(b) Disconnect the high-tension cord at the grommet. DO NOT pull on the cord.

NOTICE:
- Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.
- Do not wipe any of the oil from the grommet after the high-tension cord is disconnected.





7. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 kohm per cord

If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals. If necessary, replace the high-tension cord.
8. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND IGNITION COIL
9. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO SPARK PLUGS





(a) Secure the high-tension cords with the cord clamps as shown in the illustration.
(b) Install the No.1 and No.2 cord clamps with the 2 bolts.
10. REINSTALL NO.2 AND NO.3 CYLINDER HEAD COVERS
Install the cylinder head covers with the 4 bolts.
11. RECONNECT THROTTLE CABLE
12. REINSTALL AIR CLEANER HOSE
13. REINSTALL NO.2 PCV HOSE
