[QUOTE="2cents, post: 54722, member: 233"] Danke schone guys but I'm trying to c the integrity of der cable in conducting electricity. Dis attempt is related to der quirks I've been having mit my ignition lately. :( As I hv described in da other threads (I can't rem'ber wich) I am experiencing an occasional problem mit my ignition in dat my engine sometimes vill crank but not fire. :dunno: I hv changed der fuel regulator but not der fuel pump (only 2 yrs old), der distributor cap (rotor arm's also 2 yrs old), tried swapping mit Kevster's old ignition coil und am going to tackle der HT cables for der moment b4 I move on to der ignition control, switch, starter, relay & etc. But der strangest thing happens if I leave der "situation" alone und try to start 2-3mins later - it fires upon cranking! :lol: So vat do I to shortcut der process - I unplug my HT cable connexion to der ignition coil und rest it over der mouth of der coil & und crank again - & voila, has never failed me dis vay in der past 30 days. :wink: Meanwhile back at der batcave...I found dat if I ver to turn my ignition key straight thru without hesitating at der first schtop like we all usually do, I experience less chances of engine crank without firing! :yahoo: So nowadays, ven I start der my ride, I turn der key right thru to de end. Yes it verks but der mystery still not solved!! So now I suspect dat it cud be der plug cables - und dats vy I ned to test dem. :getyourfactsright: So guys, I'd appreciate it if u can tell me, izzit der resistence r der arcing I need to zoom in, r something else? :blink: [/QUOTE]
