Ignition Wire Inspection & Test
- Carefully remove the ignition wires by pulling on the rubber boots. Do not bend the wires; you might break them inside.
- Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. If any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
