Ignition Cable: Service and Repair

REMOVAL

CAUTION: When disconnecting a high tension cable from a spark plug or from the ignition coil, twist the rubber boot slightly (1/2 turn) to break it loose. Grasp the boot (not the cable) and pull it off with a steady, even force.




1. Remove the spark plug cable boot from the ignition coil (1).
2. Turn and pull the spark plug cable metal clad boot (2) from the spark plug.

INSTALLATION

NOTE:
- When replacing the spark plug cables, route the cables correctly and secure in the proper retainers. Failure to route the cables properly can cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise. It could also cause cross ignition of the plugs or short circuit the cables to ground.

- When installing new cables, make sure a positive connection is made. A snap should be felt when a good connection is made between the cable and the spark plug.

Install the spark plug cables in the proper engine cylinder firing order.
