ドライバーを使ってコードの絶縁体を点検します。地面からスパークプラグまで届く長さのブースターケーブルを用意しましょう。しっかり絶縁したドライバーの持ち手にブースターケーブルの端を結びつけ、もう一方の端を地面につけてアースします。ドライバーの先端を押し当てながらスパークプラグコードを1本ずつ辿り、コイルの周りやプラグブーツも点検します。コードからドライバーにアーク放電が見られたら、コードに欠陥があります。[7]
English version of the same Get a booster cable long enough to reach from the ground to the spark plugs. Tie the end of the booster cable to the handle of a well-insulated screwdriver and ground the other end to the ground. While pressing the tip of the screwdriver, follow the spark plug cords (wires) one by one, and inspect the area around the coil and the plug boots. If you see an arc discharge from the cord (wire)to the (screw) driver, the cord (wire) is defective. [7]

tooling geek....The voltage produced from the ignition coil has a connection to the engine block ground. This is because; this voltage has to return to the ignition coil through the spark plugs. But, if there is a bad coil ground connection, it doesn’t find the path. And, here comes the problem- it makes its own conductive path and creates arcing of spark plug wires.

adjacent cylinder misfire or spark jumping, jumping out of the correct wire and following the wrong cord or wire to the wrong cylnder, 1957 chevy ears was called Adjacent Misfire , Cross fire, spraking, arcing, but the terms have changed over the years and many cars today EACH CYLINDER IS MODULAR AND HAS ITS OWN COIL.

Example sentence(s):
  • High resistance at the spark plug can cause arcing back at the ignition coil

agree  Zoe Womack: I agree. If you check the English meaning of "arcing" in relation to electricity, it matches the description Ivan gave, as well as the Japanese.

agree  Tomasso: Yes, there is the primary (low voltage ) which through the coil becomes the high voltage system.
