Spark Plug Cables #3 and #5 Replacement

REMOVAL
1. Remove the resonator.
2. Grasp the spark plug boot/heat shield as close as possible to the spark plug. Twist the boot slightly to break its seal with the plug and pull straight back. Do not use pliers, pull on the ignition cable, or pull the spark plug boot at an angle. This could damage the spark plug insulator, terminal, or the cable insulation. Wipe spark plug insulator clean with a dry cloth before installation.
3. Remove the cable from the retaining bracket. Make sure that they are also detached from the rear retaining clip mounted on the rear of the intake manifold.

INSTALLATION
1. When installing the spark plug cables, make sure the coil and spark plug insulator and terminals are fully seated. A click sound should be heard or terminal engagement is felt when the terminals are properly attached.
2. Install the cable into the retaining bracket. Make sure that they are also attached to the rear retaining clip mounted on the rear of the intake manifold.
3. Install the resonator.
