Electronic Component Testing


- Do not attempt to pull spark plug cables from distributor cap. (Cables must be released from inside cap.)

- When performing spark test, ignition system or spark plug wires may be damaged if the plug is moved more than 1/4 inch away from ground.

- Do not leave any one spark plug cable disconnected any longer than necessary. (Excess unburned fuel will cause the catalytic converter to overheat.) Total plug disconnected test time must not exceed 10 minutes.
