Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

HIGH-TENSION CORDS




1. Disconnect high-tension cords from ignition coil assemblies while gripping each cap.
2. Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping each cap.

CAUTION: Pull out each connection by gripping cap portion so as not to damage their inside wire (resistive conductor).




3. Measure resistance of high-tension cord by using ohmmeter.

High-tension cord resistance: 4 - 10 kohms/m (1.2 - 3.0 kohms/ft)

4. If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension cord(s).




5. Install high-tension cords.

CAUTION:
- Never attempt to use metal conductor high-tension cords as replacing parts.
- Insert each cap portion fully when installing high-tension cords.
