SPARK PLUG WIRE INSPECTION
Spark plug wire integrity is vital for proper engine operation. A thorough inspection will be necessary to accurately identify conditions that may affect
engine operation. Inspect for the following conditions:
1. Correct routing of the spark plug wires. Incorrect routing may cause cross-firing.
2. Any signs of cracks or splits in the wires.
3. Inspect each boot for the following conditions:
-
Tearing
-
Piercing
-
Arcing
-
Carbon tracking
-
Corroded terminal
If corrosion, carbon tracking, or arcing are indicated on a spark plug wire boot or on a terminal, replace the wire and the component connected to the
wire.
