In addition, check spark plugs for fuel fouling and replace if necessary. Use care when removing spark plug wire boots from spark plugs. Twist the boot one-half turn before removing, and pull on the boot only to remove the wire. Check to make sure plug wires are routed correctly and through the proper retainers.
Use applicable labor operations.
