SPARK PLUG WIRE INSPECTION
Spark plug wire integrity is vital for proper engine operation. A thorough inspection is 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 terminal, replace the wire and the component connected to the wire.
