Is there any way to test spark plug wires with a volumeter. I have herd that there is a certain resistance they sould have in ohms. Thanks for all the help.

Yes, Take your mutimeter, and put it on Ohms (upside down U with feet) then touch the leads to each end of the wire.

It should give you a reading.


Also you can check continuity just to make sure its working right.

what kind of reading would i expect out of 7mm ngks

i dont know how many ohms they should have, but i would hope they have next to none.

I dont see why you would want resistance on your spark plug wires....

 

[steelersfan]

well yeah thats what im saying what is the accepted amout of resistance before they need to be replaced

The reading should not exceed 16kohms per 3.28ft(1meter):muhaha:

audio master's correct. I couldn't believe that when I tested my 85k mile old NGKs that all were within spec. I think my longest lead had 6kohms of resistance, most were 4.5-5. Replaced 'em anyways due to mileage/age.

Typical measurements are approximately 1.000 ohms per inch of wire
example ...10 inch wire 10.000 ohms

4000k ohms per foot of wire.

 

[Stealth]

ok, we have 16K ohms, 6 Kohms, 10 ohms, and 4000 Kohms

well now i got alot of things to try. Thanks for all the help.

 

[toxicmx6]

save it to your folder and then zoom in if it shows a small size pic

good find toxic

it came to my mind that i had the manual somewhere so i scanned it cause i see people are saying many different stuff and the guy is getting all confused...glad to help

Im reading 4oook per foot right out of the FOS electrical text book.

Uhmmm No! That would be 4kohms per foot.:ewink:

 

[steelersfan]

thanks tonic thats just what i needed

 

[kc 93'ls]

Uhmmm No! That would be 4kohms per foot.:ewink:

Teh- hee

 

[toxicmx6]

thanks tonic thats just what i needed

no problem you are welcome

i believe that reads 1,000 ohms per inch...& 10,000 ohms. it even says in the instructions to set the meter to the 40 kohm range meaning you're reading kilo (or 1000) ohms.
