Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
3. Disconnect four spark plug cables from the ignition
coil.
4. Loosen three bolts and remove ignition coil from the
bracket.
Installation Procedure
1. Tighten the ignition coil by three bolts.
2. Connect four spark plug cables to the ignition coil.
3. Connect a ignition coil connector to the ignition coil.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are

cylinders.
SPARK PLUGS
Location
Installed on the left-hand side of cylinder head.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable
2. Remove the spark plug cable.
3. Remove the spark plug.
Inspection
1. Check the insulator for cracks. Replace the spark
plug if cracks are present.
2. Check the electrode condition and replace the spark
plug if necessary.
If the spark plug electrodes and insulators are fouled
with carbon or oil, the engine will not operate efficiently.
There are a number of possible causes:
Fuel mix ture is too rich.
6E–276 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Oil in the combustion chamber.
The spark plug gap is not set correctly.
If spark plug fouling is ex cessive, check the fuel and al
system for possible causes of trouble. If fuel and al
system are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat
range which have the same physical dimensions as the
original equipment spark plugs.
The following symptoms are characteristics of spark
plugs that are running too hot:
Fuel mixture is too lean.
Heat range is incorrect.
If vehicle usage does not conform to normal driving
conditions, a more suitable spark plug may be
substituted.
If fuel and al system are normal, in most cases of this
sort, the problem can be corrected by using a colder
type spark plug with the same physical dimensions as
the original equipment spark plug.
3. Check the gaskets for damage and replace if
necessary.
4. Measure the spark plug gap. The specification is 1.0
to 1.1mm (0.039 to 0.043").
5. Adjust the spark gap by bending the grounded
electrode.Installation
1. Tighten the spark plug to the 25N·m (2.5kgf·m).
2. Push the spark plug cable in until it snaps in.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the spark plug to the cylinder head.
2. Tighten the spark plug with specified tightening
torque.
Tightening Torque
Bolt: 25N·m (2.5kgf·m)
3. Connect the spark plug cable to the spark plug.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are
not stored after replacement.
Verify proper connection of spark plug cables for each
cylinders.
0A-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and chock the front or rear wheels before lifting the vehicle.
2. Raise the vehicle with a jack set against the axle or the frame.
3. Support the vehicle on chassis stands.
4. Use covers on the vehicle body, seats, and floor to prevent damage and/or contamination.
5. Disconnect the grounding cable from the battery before performing service operations.
This will prevent cable damage or burning due to short circuiting.
6. Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with great care.
Spilling these liquids on painted surfaces will damage the paint.
7. The use of the proper tool(s) and special tool(s) where specified is essential to efficient, reliable, and safe
service operations.
8. Always use genuine ISUZU replacement parts.
9. Discard used cotter pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-locking nuts at disassembly.
Normal function of these parts cannot be guaranteed if they are reused.
10. Prepare new cotter pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-locking nuts for installation.
11. Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups.
This will facilitate smooth and correct reassembly.
12. Keep fixing nuts and bolts separate.
Fixing nuts and bolts vary in hardness and design according to installation position.
13. Clean all parts before inspection or reassembly.
14. Clean the oil ports and other openings with compressed air to make certain that they are free from dirt and
obstructions.
15. Lubricate the rotating and sliding faces of all moving parts with oil or grease before installation.
16. Use the recommended liquid gasket to prevent leakage.
17. Carefully observe all nut and bolt torque specifications.
18. When removing or replacing parts that require refrigerant to the discharged from the Air conditioning system, be
sure to use the Vehicle Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Equipment (VRRRE) to recover and recycle R134a,
to promote the movement for the protection of the ozone layer covering the earth.
19. Check and recheck your work. No service operation is complete until you have done this.
1-26 HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OR
REPAIR OF AIR CONDITIONING PARTS
There are certain procedures, practices and precautions that
should be followed when servicing air conditioning systems:
Keep your work area clean.
Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves when
working on refrigerant systems.
Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes caused by
running the engine.
Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or improperly
ventilated garages.
Always disconnect the negative battery cable and discharge
and recover the refrigerant whenever repairing the air
conditioning system.
When discharging and recovering the refrigerant, do not
allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it will draw
compressor oil out of the system.
Keep moisture and contaminants out of the system. When
disconnecting or removing any lines or parts, use plugs or
caps to close the fittings immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or parts are
reconnected or installed.
When disconnecting or reconnecting the lines, use two
wrenches to support the line fitting, to prevent from twisting
or other damage.
Always install new O-rings whenever a connection is
disassembled.
Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new specified
compressor oil to the O-rings.
When removing and replacing any parts which require
discharging the refrigerant circuit, the operations described
in this section must be performed in the following sequence:
1) Using the ACR
4 (HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent to
thoroughly discharge and recover the refrigerant.
ACR
4 (115V 60Hz) : 5-8840-0629-0 (J-39500-A)
ACR4 (220-240V 50/60Hz)
: 5-8840-0630-0 (J-39500-220A)
ACR
4 (220-240V 50/60Hz Australian model)
: 5-8840-0631-0 (J-39500-220ANZ)
2) Remove and replace the defective part.
3)
After evacuation, charge the air conditioning system and
check for leaks.

Service Precaution
WARNING:
THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND
WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact
part number for that application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after
removal. ISUZU will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS
OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors)
on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener
torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage
to parts and systems.
