Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

HIGH-TENSION CORDS INSPECTION
1. Disconnect throttle body from intake air connector without disconnecting water bypass hoses.
2. Remove No. 3 timing belt cover.
3. Remove cylinder head rear cover.
4. Disconnect high-tension cords from spark plugs and ignition coil.
- Disconnect the high-tension cords at the rubber boot.
- Do not pull on the high-tension cords.

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

5. Remove distributor cap without disconnecting high-tension cords.




6. Inspect high-tension cord resistance.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance without disconnecting the distributor cap.

Maximum resistance: 25 kOhms per cord

- If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals. If necessary, replace the high-tension cord and/or distributor cap.
7. Reinstall distributor cap.
8. Reconnect high-tension cords to spark plugs and ignition coil.
9. Reinstall cylinder head rear cover.
