When I first picked up my XJ about 4.5 years back I put an aftermarket iginition kit on it... yeah, yeah, I know it was pretty much a waste of money.
Anyway, it was the Jacob's kit and it came with hi-performance wires. It's been about 73k miles and I've change my plugs, cap and rotor a couple times but not the wires yet.
How can I tell if these are bad?
They all measure about 250 ohms except for the wire going to the coil which measures about 900 ohms (It's about 3 times longer than the others so you could mount the aftermarket coil anywhere in the engine bay)
None of them have any cuts or gouges.
The strange thing is I recently changed the wires on a friends 2.5L YJ and the new wires actually had more resistance than the old but it still seemed to idle and start smoother... then again the plugs were changed at the same time so who knows.
Thanks.
