Ignition Cable: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Spark plug cables are sometimes referred to as secondary ignition wires. The wires transfer electrical current from the ignition coil pack to individual
spark plugs at each cylinder. The resistive spark plug cables are of nonmetallic construction. The cables provide suppression of radio frequency
emissions from the ignition system.
Check the spark plug cable connections for good contact at the coil, and spark plugs. Terminals should be fully seated. The insulators should be in good
condition and should fit tightly on the coil, and spark plugs. Spark plug cables with insulators that are cracked or torn must be replaced.
Clean spark plug cables with a cloth moistened with a non-flammable solvent. Wipe the cables dry. Check for brittle or cracked insulation. The spark
plug cables and spark plug boots are made from high temperature materials.
