I've got a multimeter. Do I send a current though them? I have a 94 RS and it has orignal wires. I checked into new OEM wires at the dealer and they wanted 61 bucks. Can I get them cheaper than that?

Thanks for the help.

I posted this in here since the type-r guys and girls seem to know more than the regular integra forum.

 

Call up (username) Mike K @ Naples Acura. He'll cut you a big discount. I think you get the cap, rotor, and wires for $59.

I was at Kragens last week and saw a spark plug wire tester.

 

hmm... how to test them...
put one in your mouth and put the other end to a battery..

HeHeHe..

(sorry, I just have to post this since I am getting nuts)

 

1st, you will need a "friend".
2nd, a small metal rod.

Proceed by disconnecting plug wires. Next pick a wire and push metal rod into the end of it. Have your friend hold this rod as you crank the engine over. Observe said friend doing the chicken dance. Repeat for remaining cylinders.

 

No current is required. Measure the resistance on the wires, resistance should be 25,000 ohms max at room temperature, if they are out of spec, replace them.

 

Finally someboady that knows what they are doing.
I still like vago ITRs idea better, why don't try that one first and make you have a camera handy.
