2.0, 2.4L
Note. Prior to removing coil, spray compressed air around coil top to make sure no dirt drops into the spark plug tube.
Scheme 37
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors from ignition coils.
- Remove the ignition coil mounting bolt.
- Twist the ignition coil then pull straight up. NOTE: Prior to loosening the spark plug, use compressed air to blow out any debris that might be in the spark plug tube.
- Remove the spark plug using a quality socket with a rubber or foam insert.
- Inspect the spark plug condition.
2.0/2.4L
| CAUTION | Handle the spark plugs with care. Do not drop or force the spark plugs into the wells, damage to the electrodes and/or porcelain body may occur. Always start each spark plug by hand in order to avoid cross-threading the spark plug in the cylinder head. Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque. Too much or not enough torque will cause damage to the cylinder head and/or spark plug and may lead to poor engine performance. |
- Install each spark plug to the cylinder head. Tighten spark plugs to 27 N.m (20 ft. lbs.).
- Install ignition coil onto spark plug.
- Install ignition coil mounting bolt. Tighten to 9 N.m (79.5 in. lbs.).
- Connect ignition coil electrical connectors.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
