Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS
(a) Remove the air cleaner cap and MAF meter assembly.





(b) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the 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.

(c) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the ignition coils.
(1) Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and disconnect the holder from the ignition coils.





(2) 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.





(d) Inspect the 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.

(e) Reconnect the high-tension cords to ignition coils.





(1) Assemble the holder and grommet.





(2) 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.

(3) Check that the lock claw of the holder is engaged by lightly pulling the holder.
(f) Reconnect the high-tension cords to spark plugs.
(g) Reinstall the air cleaner cap and MAF meter assembly.
