Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

Ignition Wire Inspection:

1. Visually inspect the ignition wires for:

- Insulation or boots swelling or breaking down (due to fuel, oil or grease).

- Terminal ends corroding, cracked or loose.

Ignition Wire Resistance Test:

2. Using an ohmmeter, measure spark plug wire resistance between ends.

Acceptable Resistance: Approx 7 k - 10 k ohms per foot, (not to exceed 30 k ohms per wire).

- Replace the wire if it fails the above test.
