2. Inspect the wires visually. Inspect the wires in the dark with the engine running, if there is a break in the wire, sparks will be visible in this place.
3. High voltage wires must be checked one by one to avoid mixing them up.
27.2 When disconnecting high voltage wires, grasp the cap, not the wires
4. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (27.2).
5. Check the cap for corrosion and to ensure it fits tightly on the spark plug.
6. Wipe the entire length of the wire and check for cracks, burns or other damage.
7. Disconnect the wire from the distributor. Check the connection for reliability and absence of corrosion.
8. Check the remaining high voltage wires in the same manner.
