Basic Ignition System Checks (C-4): Dis: Spark

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Cadillac Eldorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If factory tachometer is connected to coil tachometer terminal, disconnect tachometer before performing tests. When removing spark plug wire from spark plug, twist and pull on boot, NOT on wire.
  2. Using Spark Tester (ST-125), check for spark at each spark plug wire using spark tester. Leave other wires connected while checking for spark. Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires. Resistance should be less than 30,000 ohms (12,000 ohms on 1.9L).
