Ignition Cable: Service and Repair





REMOVAL
1. Remove spark plug wire
- Disconnect from distributor and spark plug.

INSPECTION
1. Check the cable for broken insulation.
- If there is broken insulation, the cable must be replaced.
2. Check the terminals for corrosion and looseness.
- If the terminals are corroded or loose, the cable must be replaced.
3. Measure the cable resistance.
- If the measured resistance deviates from the specified value, the cable must be replaced.

Cable Resistance: 9.6 - 22.4 K Ohms

NOTE:
- The cable contains a synthetic conductor which is easily damaged.
- Never stretch or kink the cable.
- Never stick a needle or the pointed end of a probe into the cable during a timing check. An increase in resistance will occur at that point, causing the cable to burn.
