Ignition System: Service Precautions

There are important considerations to point out when servicing the ignition system. The following noteworthy information will list some of these, to help the technician in servicing the ignition system.
^ If a boot remains attached to a coil or spark plug, twist the boot prior to removal using the correct tool. Do not use pliers, screwdrivers, or any unauthorized tools to remove the boot.
^ Check the boot for a missing or damaged internal spring.
^ Do not re-install any component that has visible signs of damage.
^ Install the boots onto the coils until bottomed out. Then install the assembly onto the spark plugs. If this is not possible due to space limitations, just-start the boots onto the spark plugs, and then install the coil assembly as straight down onto the plugs as possible.
^ Ensure the boots are installed right side up.
^ Repair a torn perimeter seal with RTV sealant.
^ Adhere to the torque specifications when installing the cassette to the cam cover and the module to the cassette.
