I had a lady tell me one time that her spark plug wires were not too old and there was no way that they could be bad and she did not believe me that I wanted to change plugs and wires. Come to find out the person who sold her the car lied and only made the plug wires look new with some armor all or something. I came back after dark to show her proof that the plug wires were bad, I did not need to use the test light as you have, these bad boys were leaking so much voltage that the entire length of the plug wire was glowing blue-like, a haze around all that sprayed on armor all stuff and was very easy to see at night. Tomorrow I was back with plugs and wires. Thanks for the TECH TIP.
I have been shocked so many times that it did not hurt or scare me anymore, I could just hold the plug wire while I reinstalled it, the other guys would be looking at me like, this MF is crazy.
Man you telling me. I have changed over a 50 of those IACV in these cars. So much that I keep some in stock for this reason. there is a relearn procedure but when the motor is bad. There is nothing you can do. I always let the customer know that they should turn the key on, leave it for a second or two. Then turn the key. This will prolong the life of the part
