Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS
(a) Remove the V-bank cover.
(b) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the spark plugs.





(1) Using needle-nose pliers, disconnect the cord clamp from the engine wire protector.





(2) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the spark plugs.

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

(3) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the clamp.
(c) 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.

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.

(d) Remove the high-tension cords set.





(1) Disconnect the clamp from the emission control valve set.
(2) Remove the high-tension cords set in indicated direction.





(e) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 K ohms per cord

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





(f) Install the high-tension cords set.
(g) 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.





NOTICE: 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.
(h) Connect the high-tension cords to the spark plugs.
(i) Install the V-bank cover.
