Ignition Cable: Service and Repair

SPARK PLUG WIRES

Removal

CAUTION: Do not pull on the ignition wire directly, as the wire may separate from the connector inside the spark plug boot.




1. Grasp the spark plug boot firmly and with a twisting-pulling motion, disconnect the ignition wires from the spark plugs.




2. Disconnect the ignition wires from the ignition coil and remove the wires.

Installation

CAUTION: Correct installation of the ignition wires is critical to engine operation. If one spark plug wire is not correctly installed at either the spark plug or the ignition coil, both spark plugs connected to the ignition coil may not fire under load.

NOTE: Whenever an ignition wire is reinstalled or a new one is installed, apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric compound to the interior surface of the ignition wire boot.

NOTE: Before installing the ignition wires, inspect the ignition wires for any visible damage; install new ignition wires if necessary.




1. Connect the ignition wires to the correct ignition coil terminals.




2. Connect the ignition wires to the correct spark plugs.
