Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

1. REMOVE AIR CLEANER CAP AND MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) METER ASSEMBLY.
2. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS.





- 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.

3. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM IGNITION COILS.





- Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and disconnect the holder from the ignition coils.
- 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.

4. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE





- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 k Ohms per cord.

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



5. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO IGNITION COILS.
- Assemble the holder and grommet.





- Align the spline of the ignition coil with the spline of the holder, and push in the cord.





NOTICE: 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.
