The spark plug wires should be examined at appropriate interval and also whenever there is replacement of spark plugs in the engine. It is crucial for the functioning of the engine that the wires are not mixed, so examine the wires as each is different. When removing the plug wire from a spark plug, take the rubber end by holding it by the screw, twist it a little and pull it off, do not pull on the wire. Ensure within the boot for corrosion; corrosion has the appearance of a white crusty powder and push the wire and boot in place over the spark plug but only lightly. If it is not, then pull out the wire and with the use of pliers, he needs to squeeze the actual metal connector that is within the boot until it can finally slide. Wash the surface area of the wire by sweeping it with a clean piece of cloth and then examine it for such things as holes, burnt surface, cracks and other imperfections which are occasioned by over bending of the wire; a factor that results into the breaking of the conductor within the wire. Remove the wire from the spark plug distributor cap perhaps with a detachment of a retaining ring upward, and just again pull the rubber insulator. Be sure there is no sign of corrosion and that the fit is snug, as with the spark plug end; then check the spark plug wire's resistance with an ohmmeter and reconnect it to the distributor cap. The last check is done for the remaining spark plug wires and this is done by making sure that they fit tightly at the distributor end and also at the spark plug side. If new spark plug wires are called for, always get the ones that fit your engine model which normally comes pre-spliced with rubber-go-throughs. Disconnect wires one at a time so that there will be confusion when reconnecting in the correct firing order, and ensure to take note of the routing of each wire before disconnecting it.
