High voltage wires, distributor cap and rotor (Honda Civic 3)

1. Check high-voltage wires at night (not in the garage!) with the engine running. If you see the glow of the wires or a breakdown of the insulation on the housing, replace the wires and inspect the distributor cap and rotor.

2. When replacing wires, do not mix up the ignition order, it is better to mark the wires. Inspect and, if necessary, replace the rubber caps of the wires at both ends.

3. Remove the distributor cap. Inspect it for cracks, deposits, burns, and loss of contact.

4. Remove the rotor and inspect it. If any defects are found in the rotor and cover, replace them.

5. Check the resistance of the wires installed in the cover. If the resistance is greater than recommended, replace the wires and/or the distributor cap
