Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

HIGH-TENSION CORDS INSPECTION

1. REMOVE AIR CLEANER CAP AND MAF METER ASSEMBLY
2. REMOVE INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR





3. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM PARK 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.

4. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM DISTRIBUTOR CAP





(a) Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and disconnect the holder from the distributor cap.





(b) 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.





5. 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.
6. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO DISTRIBUTOR CAP
(a) Connect the high-tension cords to the distributor cap.





NOTICE: Check that the holder is correctly installed to the grommet and distributor cap as shown in the illustration.

(b) Check that the lock claw of the holder is engaged by lightly pulling the holder.





7. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO SPARK PLUGS
Secure the high-tension cords with the clamps as shown in the illustration.
8. REINSTALL INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR
9. REINSTALL AIR CLEANER CAP AND MAF METER ASSEMBLY
