Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection
Ignition Cable Test
VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Inspect the routing of the wires. Improper routing can cause crossfiring.
2. Inspect each wire for any signs of cracks or splits in the wire.
3. Inspect each boot for signs of tears, piercing, arc through, or carbon tracking. If the boot needs to be replaced, twist it a half-turn in either direction
to break the seal before pulling on the boot to remove the wire.
SPARK PLUG WIRE RESISTANCE TEST
1. Disconnect both ends of each wire. Make sure the wire terminals are clean.
2. Set ohmmeter on the high scale and connect it to each end of the wire being tested. Twist the wire gently while watching ohmmeter.
3. If ohmmeter reads above 30,000 ohms (no matter how long the wire is), or fluctuates from infinity any value, replace the wire.
4. If the resistance of any wire is not within the following ranges, replace the wire being tested.
-
0 to 381 mm (0 to 15 in.) wire - 3,000 to 10,000 ohms.
-
381 mm to 635 mm (15 in. to 25 in.) wire - 4,000 to 15,000 ohms.
-
635 mm to 889 mm (25 in. to 35 in.) wire - 6,000 to 20,000 ohms.
-
Longer wire - should measure about 5,000 to 10,000 ohms per foot.
