Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

IGNITION SYSTEM

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION




INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS
a. Remove the air cleaner cap and MAF meter assembly.
b. Remove the intake air connector.
c. Disconnect the high-tension cords from the spark plugs.

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

d. 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.

NOTE:
- 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.




e. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 kOhms per cord

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




f. Connect the high-tension cords to the 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.

NOTE: Check that the holder is correctly installed to the grommet and ignition coil as shown in the illustration.

3. Check that the lock claw of the holder is engaged by lightly pulling the holder.




g. Connect the high-tension cords to the spark plugs. Secure the high-tension cords with the clamps as shown in the illustration.
h. Install the intake air connector.
i. Install the air cleaner cap and MAF meter assembly.
