Ignition Cable: Service and Repair

SPARK PLUG CABLE

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 installing the spark plug cables, route the cables correctly. Failure to route the cables properly can cause improper spark plug phase-shift.





1. Install the spark plug cables to the appropriate coil tower (A & B) (coil side).
2. Install the spark plug cables to the appropriate spark plug location (G & K) (plug side).





NOTE:
- Refer to the reference pad cast into the cylinder head cover to identify proper spark plug/ spark plug cable orientation.
- When installing spark plug cables, insure a positive connection is made. A snap should be felt when a good connection is made between the spark plug cable and the spark plug.

3. Insure a firm connection is made from the spark plug cables (2) to the spark plugs.
