- A bent or a broken terminal
- Corrosion or moisture contamination

- Boots for cracks or punctures
- Boots for carbon tracking
- Cable and boot for abnormal swelling or stiffness
- Cable for damage
^ Measure the electrical resistance of the spark plug wire (2) with a DMM (1). Resistance must not be more than 4-10k ohm/m (1.2-3.0k ohm/ft).
^ Replace any spark plug wire that fails an inspection or a test.
