  • Excellent video! Thanks for the refresher on ignition wire troubleshooting.

  • @Zaxaz1990 I'm assuming you're talking about spark plug wires coming from a distributor cap to spark plug. Ohm values for wires vary for each manufacturer like the video stated. Ohms are affected by wire temperature too. Rule of thumb is less than 10k ohms per foot of wire.

  • what the bad reading you get up to if one of the spark plug leads is faulty?
