INSPECT SPARK PLUG CABLE




1. Carefully remove the spark plug cable by pulling on the rubber boots (A).
Check the condition of the spark plug cable terminals (B), if any terminal has surface corrosion, clean it off, and if it broken or distorted, replace the spark plug cable.




2. Connect the ohmmeter probes and measure resistance.

RESISTANCE : 5.6 kOhms/m ± 20%

3. Resistance should not be higher than 10 kOhms/m.
If resistance is higher, replace the cable.
