Ignition Cable: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Grasp the spark plug boot firmly and with a twisting-pulling motion, disconnect the ignition wires from the spark plugs.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the ignition wire directly, as the wire may separate from the connector inside the spark plug boot.
2. Disconnect the ignition wires from the ignition coil and remove the wires.
INSTALLATION
1. Connect the ignition wires to the correct ignition coil terminals.
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.
^
Before installing the ignition wires, inspect the ignition wires for any visible damage; install new ignition wires if necessary.
