Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION OF HIGH-TENSION CORDS





1. REMOVE HIGH-TENSION CORDS

(a) Disconnect the throttle body.

- Disconnect the air cleaner hose.

- Remove the throttle body bracket(s).

- Disconnect the accelerator connecting rod. Disconnect the PCV hose.

- Remove the four bolts and pick up the throttle body.





(b) Carefully remove the high-tension cords by their rubber boots from the spark plugs.

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





2. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance without disconnecting the cap.

Maximum resistance: 25 kohms per cord

If resistance exceeds maximum, check the terminals. If necessary, replace the high-tension cord and/or distributor cap.

3. INSTALL HIGH-TENSION CORDS

(a) Install high-tension cords.

(b) Install the throttle body.

- Install the throttle body with the four bolts.

- Connect the PCV hose.

- Connect the accelerator connecting rod.

- Install the throttle body bracket(s). Connect the air cleaner hose.
