check the wires of the spark plug for any problems that need attention. Inspect visually the wires as the engine runs in an area with enough ventilation. In case there are damaged areas, check for signs of sparking or arcing. If arcing is seen, it should be noted that the distributor cap and rotor should only be checked after replacing them. To ascertain the right order of wires, inspect them individually and write down their numbers or use marked tape if they cannot be visible. While removing a wire from a spark plug, just employ a puller or twist out with soft boots avoiding any tension on themselves. After attaching the boots back onto its respective plug, ensure that it fits well without having any defects or poor contact. Clean it using a piece of cloth rag, look at it keenly for burns and avoid forming sharp bends on it. Pull off the distributor cap by pulling up on its boot; after that, test for tightness as well as corrosion. Closely look at both wires going from your distributor to each spark plug to verify they are all connected properly. If you need new spark plug wires, buy an entire set specifically made for your type of engine so you can change them one by one while keeping the firing order intact. The distributor cap should also be examined for cracks, carbon tracks and worn out/burned contacts which have occurred over time and thus are no longer functional while the rotor needs to be gone through for cracks and carbon tracks. Replace the cap and rotor as needed when installing new spark plug wires. If you are reusing your old cap then measure resistance between spark plug wires and cap; replace any whose resistance exceeds maximum value. Whenever you are putting in brand-new caps do it sequentially so that you don't break this order otherwise refer to firing order diagrams in case of confusion.

The spark plug wires should be checked whenever new spark plugs are installed, starting with a visual inspection while the engine runs in a darkened, ventilated area to observe for arcing or sparks at any damaged areas. Each wire must be inspected individually to maintain the correct order for proper engine operation, and original wires should be numbered for identification; if numbers are illegible, tape can be used to mark them. To disconnect a wire, use a removal tool or twist and pull the rubber boot without tugging on the wire itself, then check for corrosion inside the boot. After ensuring a tight fit on the spark plug, clean the wire with a rag, inspecting for burns or cracks without bending it sharply. Disconnect the wire from the distributor by pulling on the boot, checking for corrosion and fit before replacing it. Inspect all spark plug wires to ensure they are securely fastened at both ends. If new wires are needed, purchase a set specific to the engine model, replacing them one at a time to avoid mix-ups. Detach the distributor cap by loosening the screws, checking for cracks and worn contacts inside, and examine the rotor for damage, replacing both if necessary. It is advisable to install a new cap and rotor with new wires, but if the old cap is retained, check the resistance between the wires and the cap. When installing a new cap, transfer the wires from the old cap one at a time to maintain the correct firing order.
