  1. If factory tachometer is connected to ignition coil tachometer terminal, disconnect it 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 opposed firing plug connected while checking for spark. Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires. Resistance should be no greater than 30,000 ohms.
